He's the best man Even after like 20 years listening to him, starting as a kid, still love it I think the picture captured the moment he was staring at the ground saying there was something shiny
Anyone posting Mitch is my friend...!! Angels will sing about you every night. Mitch was so psychedelic and I can feel the immense love of the man. #rip
I saw him on this tour, it was new year's eve at the Legendary Tower Theater in Philly, he was absolutely wasted, went waaaay to long, told the same jokes a bunch of times, got into a fight with the people trying to drag him off stage, it was a great show.
@@MyBigperm The Man had substance abuse issues, Its not bashing its the truth Mitch was still funny as fuck it don'r diminish his legacy saying he was also a junkie. It's what killed him.
I saw him in Seattle that year. Mid set he wanted some painkillers so someone gave him a bottle of Valium and he dropped it, spent the rest of the set pioneering "lay down comedy" and never didn't stand up the rest of the set. It was legendary. Smacky the Frog with just Mitch's voice knowing he was looking the ceiling had more zip on it.
This guy is absolutely hilarious, love his jokes, and his style. Absolute genius, I understand some people don't get his comedy, which goes to show you how ahead of his time he was
@chris rocco I'm sorry you don't agree. There's a few BIGGER comedians out there where people are laughing their faces off, and I just don't get it. I laughed my butt off with this guy because I can relate to him.
Mitch wasn't ahead of his time. His style just doesn't resonate with a lot of people. He's one of the most polarizing comedians I can think of. I've introduced him to many people, and the reaction is always a hard love or hate for him.
There's a subtle undertone of pain and desperation in his voice here, and he's definitely not as "on" as he usually is. He obviously knew he was spiralling out of control... 😥
My dude is an absolute machine. Listen how many jokes this dude just rifles off for a solid hour. 90% of them are unrelated to each other and he remembers which one he does. He’s crazy talented.
When I first heard him I was so excited i looked up his upcoming shows. I found out he had already passed. So depressing. Enjoy people while they're here
Jeez, like Mitch, he had the kind of humor that makes you think, your driving in your car the next day an start laughing so hard it hurts, sorry he's gone...
This mans been a hero of mine since I was a kid. Absolutely one of the most underrated comedians of all time, and truly one of the best. However this set is painful to listen too. You can hear the addiction. He was completely out of it this set and it is so sad to have to go through and try to laugh at the hilarious material while pretending he’s normal. True shame. Rest In Peace to an absolute legend of comedy.
I think this recording is actually from Mitch's tour with Stephen Lynch, which is when he had Al Madrigal opening for him. If so, I was at that show. Side note, I saw Al Madrigal headline at Cobb's in SF a couple years back, got a chance to take a pic with him, got an autographed CD, and got to ask him about the tour. He said Mitch was even funnier off stage. Long live Mitch.
Man, i wanna be a race car passenger...just a guy who bugs the driver....say, man, can i turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we keep going in circles? You need to make a "right" Man, you really like Tide.
He said is friend told him I hear music. Mitch said that's how I take it in too. Kill me now kill me now that is so f****** hilarious. RIP. Terrific Set. Punk AF.
I love the shit out of Mitch, but I had to tap out of this 12:00 in. He sounds wasted, which wouldn't be so bothersome if we didn't know how it ended 6 months later.
Darryl yes, he’s one of my favorites but this set is the only one I’ve heard that made me sad, I get it my friend. And let’s be honest, this is a bad set. I’ve heard a long set where he lost the audience that didn’t get him but I was on the floor laughing the whole time, but this is different and ok to say so. RIP Mitch, love ya bro! You the man!
@@randall-king Not true. Listen to the earlier gigs he did at college venues, hardly swears at all and is funnier. Nothing wrong with swearing if it isn't to get a cheap laugh or giggle or isn't a lame attempt to sound cool. The more Mitch knew he was losing it, the more he sweared.
@@Trolltastically yah he was a bit messy in this. took a bit for the crowd to catch on. ive noticed alot of his beginnings are kind of rough sometimes. prob anxiety
He swears a lot more than usual, and sound like he's trying to hard and forcing the jokes. Not being his shy quiet self that he was in the beginning of his career.
I love this guys comedy, his jokes are hit or miss depending on his "mood", never got a chance to see a live show but I sure wish I could've. Would have been cool to see him and Norm before they hauled ass.
Bruh I just found out about Mitch and he's from the same city in from how did they not teach me about him. Shit I even almost got arrested for climbing Harding highschool Once where he went lmao that's so crazy to me
He's not the same, he's even saying a lot of jokes aren't that funny, and swears a lot more than he used to. The video that says Mitch hedberg best stand up, is truly best I've seen
6 months later after this , he died . he did seem to struggle at this venue . not a very receptive crowd .but how many times can a comedian go to the 'joke laboratory' ???? he was still a great success with his imagination and concept of life ,. miss u mitch,.
What pisses me off, is that some of the audience new his style and jokes, and yet they didn't raise the roof. Mitch was more upbeat on this one, and I could feel his pain when the audience turned out to be dud. Wish I was there.
@Sam Douglas Tosser, what a stupid remark. Nothing wrong with swearing but it doesn't suit Mitch's style or character, and if you've listened to a lot of his shows you'll know that.
The Warfield is perfect for popular comedy, or any good performance... 2,300 with a big deep balcony and bar below. Mitch is great for closeness i think. he had a interesting vibe i bet.
Crazy how I only found out he passed away a couple months ago, even though I discovered his work back in 2011 when I was still in middle school. I was exposed to a lot of comedians back then and Mitch was one of my favorites.

God bless, Mitch. Where ever you are right now, I don't think you could possibly know how much we miss you.
I used to like Mitch Hedberg, I still do but I used to too.
Very nice!
I used to watch his stand up. I still do but I used to too.
He's the best man
Even after like 20 years listening to him, starting as a kid, still love it
I think the picture captured the moment he was staring at the ground saying there was something shiny
Very Mitch!
Nice navigation of the "to" and "too" words.
Mitch is like the guy who everyone likes at work but is always late
Me lol
Who cares if he's late to work? When he gets here, he always has weed
This is perfect
Very clever
@@mamiltonhorris4476 hahahahahah just seen this now 😄 👏 👏
I must admit. Mitch is my go-to comedian and one of the funniest men I've ever heard. Rest in Peace Mitch Hedberg.
I saw him in the early 2000s. Great set and he bought the entire audience a shot of vodka, so we all got to do a shot with Mitch.
I took my younger brother to see him in Addison, Tx about a year before he passed. He was the shit.
That's AWESOME !
Phreak9mm ..not to break your heart but stand ups by the room and bar.
Phreak9mm that's fkn awesome!👌👌👌👌
I saw him at a store once

truly this man was a legend.
I just discovered Mitch. Not only is his comedy great but I really love the guy.
Good for you, way to bash a dead guy
@@MyBigperm The Man had substance abuse issues, Its not bashing its the truth Mitch was still funny as fuck it don'r diminish his legacy saying he was also a junkie. It's what killed him.
@@MyBigperm no one bashed him
I only discovered him after his death.... I wish I would have seen him before he died
I first heard him right before he died
Same
I think he would have got even better with age too. We are missing so many of his dvd's and jokes.
Abu Dabu ok..lol
Abu Dabu Wow.. freak
We used to laugh with Mitch Hedberg. We still do, but we used to, too.
You beautyxxxxx
Thank you for posting. I miss Mitch, a lot.

rogan talked about this... had no idea it was real :/
Huh?
This guy is absolutely hilarious, love his jokes, and his style. Absolute genius, I understand some people don't get his comedy, which goes to show you how ahead of his time he was
Not really. People are becoming more and more daft now. Back then he was perfect
NO HE WAS NOT AHEAD OF SHIT...HE JUST WASNT LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY...UNIQUE AND INTERESTING

@@williamrusso3130 beauty is in the eye of the beholder my fren
So sad when we lost Mitch. This show was on my birthday the year after I graduated high school
He was dead a little over 6 months after recording this. You can kind of hear how it’s going in his voice. Such a loss.
😔
a little over what? lol i miss this guy *cries
@@heatheraiello7792 a little over 6 months
There's a subtle undertone of pain and desperation in his voice here, and he's definitely not as "on" as he usually is. He obviously knew he was spiralling out of control... 😥
Yeah, this is hard to listen to. He’s almost screaming constantly
mitch killed this set actually...the warfield is big and the only mic was on him.

April Osborn I’m here because of corona. Needed a laugh.
He’s the best thing R.I.P. glad he’s not having to go thru this
@@1o1beauty you'll get through it, hang in there champ ☺
You're*
I wish Mitch and Patrice were still alive. 2 of my favorites ever.
at least we have stanhope still, thats a miracle itself
RIP to Patrice O'Neal & Mitch
'maybe they were out of shit'
Doug Stanhope
Yup, same here.
You got great taste. Those are my top 2 also.
Man, I’ve never got tired of listening his silly jokes. I wished I could watched him live. 🥰
He's literally doing the jokes alphabetically...!! 😂🤣
The X joke is in the middle
He had to cross it up
I was following til about H I think then it became random but I was so excited when I thought it was actually happening!
2021 still listens to Mitch!
This guy was genius. His comedy will live on.
One of my all time fav's,and great's..
I saw mitch twice. He was great.
Whoa he is flying.
Dianne Baily Totally. Sounds like he’s hanging on by a thread here lol.
I think he's got the best delivery of all the comedians. He could read the ingredients on a cereal box and we'd be rolling on the floor
Exactly, his change of cadence and tone was funny by itself. The jokes and tone were delivered in stereo.
He was Certainly inebriated on this night but I laughed hard at his antics.
Thanks again for all the laughs Mitch!!!
I would have assumed he wasn’t high in this one because it wasn’t his best set
Needed a fix, that's why he was sniffin. Probably on coke and liquor. Then a fix after the show. Heroin, lonely, all of it, sad and lonely.
Mitch is the best comedian ! Will truly be missed .
This performance is off the hook.
I loved that Dr. Acula joke
I just now got that joke. Only because i saw it in print. Thx.
2020 when we REALLY need a little laughter
these are amazing. Didnt know new mitch existed
Thats lame. Listening to how he deals with telling jokes that bomb shows how naturally funny he was.
Imagine if you were a priest and the day came you had to fight the devil...you'd be like "awe shit I didn't think this shit was for real...I quit"
I used to miss Mitch. I still miss Mitch, but I used to too.
Seriously thank you for this
Imagine you was a drummer n accidentally picked up a pair of magic wands ... 😂
Sorry, Ricky, er, I mean, Cream of Mushroom.

No way anyone could remember all this ..f uped! He was and is loved...so why did no one help him !!!
For everyone judging the reactions you can tell the crowd was turned down. So that we could hear Mitch better
Clear Channel well considering mitch has a microphone and the audience was probably recorded and in editing was turned down
@Language Lab technically everyone in the room had a mic, it's just that for most of them the mic was really far away.
Wish Mitch had a family and lived a happy life. But instead we got entertained at a cost. A cost we usually ignore...
Thanks for the show.
I think this recording is actually from Mitch's tour with Stephen Lynch, which is when he had Al Madrigal opening for him. If so, I was at that show.
Side note, I saw Al Madrigal headline at Cobb's in SF a couple years back, got a chance to take a pic with him, got an autographed CD, and got to ask him about the tour.
He said Mitch was even funnier off stage.
Long live Mitch.
Hell yeah brother this guy is like my spirit animal but with comedians instead of animals.
How!? Funnier?! I LOVE YOU MAN!
If a person listens closely, the audience response is quite favorable. Just audience not ‘ miked’🎤🎤🎤.
Too real for most.
4:39 "the show is goin really good right now"
lmfao
love u mitch!
I like how his sets are slightly chaotic but his likeability gets him through
Definitely higher here than other acts.
"This f'ing show sounds like it's f'ing prerecorded...I'm not talking like I'm actually here"
now the apartment depot would just be a really big warehouse thats empty, people standing around saying "we ain't gonna fix shit!"
He was one of the best. No doubt about it
This is comedic gold. The whole thing.
Man, i wanna be a race car passenger...just a guy who bugs the driver....say, man, can i turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we keep going in circles? You need to make a "right" Man, you really like Tide.
That was one of earlier jokes
Seriously , THE most underrated funny man ever !
Awesomeness! Thanks
Lol this is the second show I've seen where someone requests the donut joke and then he gets mad at them after for not laughing 🤣
He said is friend told him I hear music. Mitch said that's how I take it in too. Kill me now kill me now that is so f****** hilarious. RIP.
Terrific Set. Punk AF.
He is like the Joey Ramone of comedy stage presence and verbal delivery. Next joke. 1234...
I love the shit out of Mitch, but I had to tap out of this 12:00 in. He sounds wasted, which wouldn't be so bothersome if we didn't know how it ended 6 months later.

Legends never last long
forever is long enough :)
He is my favorite stand up by a mile. I love his stupid jokes and calm demeanor. I don’t want to listen to Bill Burr yelling about fat chicks.
I lost it "I walked into Target and I missed "
Ended up at Walmart
I walked into target but than realized I was actually walking towards that dog
bombing like a gentleman! god damn gentleman. they don't make em like this anymore!
Right, didn't even want sympathy laughs. With his shield or on it...
he gets funnier the less the crowd laughs
Honestly this is the first time i heard mitch cuss
This is the way he was. He only didn’t do it when he was on a TV special like Comedy Central or Letterman where he wasn’t allowed to.
@@randall-king Not true. Listen to the earlier gigs he did at college venues, hardly swears at all and is funnier. Nothing wrong with swearing if it isn't to get a cheap laugh or giggle or isn't a lame attempt to sound cool. The more Mitch knew he was losing it, the more he sweared.
i don't think he bombs here, i'm pretty sure whoever recorded this did not have ambient mics for the crowd.
Vex Feb it doesn’t explain why he seems frustrated with the crowd though
@@Trolltastically yah he was a bit messy in this. took a bit for the crowd to catch on. ive noticed alot of his beginnings are kind of rough sometimes. prob anxiety

That Stephen Lynch dude is also good. I've seen the video to this VERY SHOW with Stephen Lynch years ago, didnt know Hedberg was on that night too!
I don't have a watch, just where one could go.
Bruh I just found out about Mitch and he's from the same city in from how did they not teach me about him. Shit I even almost got arrested for climbing Harding highschool Once where he went lmao that's so crazy to me
Miss you Mitch
Hard to listen to this, most of those jokes were years old. He was still one of the greats though.
He's not the same, he's even saying a lot of jokes aren't that funny, and swears a lot more than he used to. The video that says Mitch hedberg best stand up, is truly best I've seen
@@Ciriousglitch Hey Micodin. Yeh he is of the rare canon that sounds better when he doesn't cuss etc. Just doesn't elevate his style.
Yea, he's the type of comedian that doesn't need to cuss to be funny. And seemed more real back before
Gone so tragically and way too soon . RIP Mitch
grandson of Portuguese immigrants at least he didn’t have to go through all this bs
I’m scared- I needed a laugh
@@1o1beauty me too and he went peacefully. I been off heroin since July 31st 1994 but I rather take a lethal dose rather then die of corona
❤ Mitch 😂
i like how he still started his jokes a, b, c
"Nyquil on the rocks for if you are feeling sick but social." (brilliant joke!)
You can tell he was getting to his end here
You can tell you don't know much about comedy. It's just a bad set
@@Redeyez318 you can tell you don't know much about people
6 months later after this , he died . he did seem to struggle at this venue . not a very receptive crowd .but how many times can a comedian go to the 'joke laboratory' ???? he was still a great success with his imagination and concept of life ,. miss u mitch,.
I just got a second hand coke buzz I think! Awesome show!
What pisses me off, is that some of the audience new his style and jokes, and yet they didn't raise the roof.
Mitch was more upbeat on this one, and I could feel his pain when the audience turned out to be dud.
Wish I was there.
Audience wasn't a dud. Audio's either turned down or wasn't tuned to capture the audience, just to focus on Mitch.
The audio of the audience wasn't very loud. Don't worry, they were laughing.
Nah, his timing and delivery were way off.
I'm not a triggered Puritan or anything but Mitch is funnier when he doesn't cuss.
Agreed. One of very few comics who was hilarious clean.
@Sam Douglas Tosser, what a stupid remark. Nothing wrong with swearing but it doesn't suit Mitch's style or character, and if you've listened to a lot of his shows you'll know that.
Yeah swearing doesn’t fit Mitch’s stage persona
I can wiggle my nose like a bunny rabbit .!!. .!!.
Mitch is the best...but he bombed here. San Fran, figures
so did in comedy central special
I used to like getting high and listening to MITCH , I still do, but I used to also .
gil wood I use to like Mitch...

Thanks for this... he is so fucking funny.
no man's sky beyond
Did he always sound this f’d up?
This is when it got sad...
It's not the jokes, it's the bits in between
The pause between the notes that makes the music
”My old shit is better than my new shit” i can really see it in this one
Mitch is suffering from a bad toothache during this show.
Mike Fropmozzle thanks genius. Did you know he was also talking and telling jokes during this show?
@@1stcwp ,
I used to think that was a derogatory comment. I still do but I used to too
His apartment was infested with koala bears, too.
I hope the crowd mic was weak, otherwise this crowd didn’t deserve him
Al sounds like Mitch
Really ? You think so?
They did have similar slurs.
I had dreams all night long about bunny rabbits the other night just bunny rabbits .!!. .!!.

i would have loved to drink a beer and do some drugs with this guy
