Why Can't We Get a Clear Photo of Bigfoot? Comedian Thinks He Knows the Answer

Editor’s Note: This is a post by Bigfoot Evidence contributor Vicki W.

Maybe it's a good time to lighten up a bit with a little Bigfoot humor. Well, this comedy segment only has a couple of lines about Bigfoot, but they are classic. This is a short segment from a performance from stand-up comedian Mitch Hedberg. Mitch had a unique style and delivery of his comedy. Many call it one liners, but that label really doesn't fit his comedy. It may have been two to three liners at times, but he could take very ordinary things or situations and spin them in a very funny way. His comedy routines were more like spurts of random thoughts or ideas that he could turn with a somewhat logical, yet inquisitive and enthusiastic tone that just really worked.

Just as Mitch had finally broken into a successful career in stand-up, having performed on David Letterman, been featured on his own Comedy Central special, and recorded a hit DVD/CD as well as a few appearances in film and a TV sitcom, his gift of laughter was forever silenced. He was found dead in his hotel room on March 30, 2005 from an accidental drug overdose. He was 37. He continues to gain fans today, as new listeners discover his original comedy. It's doubtful anyone could ever successfully duplicate his special style of stand-up. He was truly one of a kind.

Here is a short biography of Mitch from Wikipedia:

Mitchell Lee "Mitch" Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 29, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian known for his surreal humor and unconventional comedic delivery. His comedy typically featured short, sometimes one-line jokes mixed with absurd elements and non sequiturs.

Hedberg's comedy and on-stage persona gained him a cult following with audience members sometimes shouting out the punchlines to his jokes before he could finish them.

Comedian Mitch Hedberg was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesotta, but started his comedy career in Florida, not because it's a particularly humorous state but because it's warm. After honing his act in Florida, he moved to Seattle and started touring throughout the Pacific Northwest. Hedberg got his first television appearance on MTV's Comikaze by personally pitching his act to the talent coordinator. His big break came in 1996 when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, an appearance so successful that Letterman himself quoted his act later in the show. In 1997, he won the grand prize at the Seattle Comedy Competition and completed his own independent feature, Los Enchiladas! While headlining comedy clubs across the nation, Hedberg secured a development deal with Fox to create a sitcom and made an appearance in the film Almost Famous. In 2003, Comedy Central Records issued both Mitch All Together and Strategic Grill Locations, and sponsored a tour with Hedberg, Lewis Black, and Dave Attell.

Mitch was interviewed by Jonathan Davis in the December 2001 issue of Penthouse. In the interview, published three years before his death, he was asked "If you could choose, how would you end your life?" His response was "First, I'd want to get famous, and then I'd overdose. If I overdosed at this stage in my career, I would be lucky if it made the back pages." Hedberg was still a star on the rise when a heart attack due to "multiple drug toxicity" ended his ascent on March 30, 2005 at the age of 37. A collection of unreleased recordings titled Do You Believe in Gosh? appeared in 2008. ~ David Jeffries. Additional note: Mitch also appeared in the film Lords of Dogtown and on the TV sitcom "That 70's Show".

Youtube has lots of videos of Hedberg's performances, if you find that you enjoy his comedy. I would say that his material is either something you like or you don't. I doubt there's an in-between. Personally, I like it. But for those who are only interested in hearing his classic Bigfoot lines, move the counter to about the 2:00 minute mark.
