Mitch Hedberg has one last question for you

Do you believe in gosh?

So I'm sure there are many Mitch fans around, and I just found out there will be a CD of the stuff he was working on right before he died. It comes out next Tuesday, Sept 9th. This pretty much makes my year.
Recorded two months prior to his death, "Do You Believe In Gosh?" contains nearly 40 minutes of previously unreleased stand-up material. The CD captures most of the material Mitch was working on, for what would have been his next full-length album, in a free-form show with a large amount of audience interaction.

Also included in the CD package is a booklet including never-before-seen photos and excerpts from Mitch's private journals. The CD pulses with his unique wit and spirit and is a document of a comedy master.

There will also be a sort of CD release party at a few comedy clubs throughout the country to pay tribute to legend that is Mitch Hedberg. You can get the CD on Comedy Central's website and I'm sure it'll pop up at the usual outlets as well. Buy it, cherish it, pretend it's still 2004.

Samples from the disc and more info on the release parties at http://mitchhedberg.net

    When we were on acid, we would go into the woods, because there was less chance that you would run into an authority figure.

    But we ran into a bear, and that's WAY more intimidating

    My friend Duane was there, raising his right hand, swearing to help prevent forest fires. He told me, “Mitchell, Smokey is way more intense in person!”

    My friend Duane was there, raising his right hand, swearing to help prevent forest fires. He told me, “Mitchell, Smokey is way more intense in person!”

    I went to England to tell jokes, and I wanted to tell my Smokey the Bear joke, but I had to ask the English people if they knew who Smokey the Bear is but they don’t.

    In England, Smokey the Bear is not the forest-fire-prevention representative. They have Smackie the Frog. It’s a lot like a bear, but it’s a frog. And that’s a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool.

    Never has there been a frog hopping toward me and I thought, “Man, I better play dead!”

    I've never said "here comes that frog" in a horrifying manner, it's always optimistic.

    It's like "Hey, here comes that frog! Maybe he will settle near me, and I can pet him, and put him in a mayonaise jar with a stick and a leaf to recreate what he's used to."

    Everyone I know loved him far before his death. I saw him three times, which is 60% of the total comedy shows I've been too.

    The second time we saw him at a show in Cincinnati, we waited for him after the show to see if he wanted to go out and have a drink with us. He came out with Lynn carrying some dinner, but agreed to stop by for one drink. So we went next door to a bar/restaurant and as we waiting to get the bartenders attention, Mitch calls the guy over, hands him $200 and orders a shot of vodka for all five of us and tells the bartender to use the rest on our subsequent rounds.

    I mean, the man didn't owe us shit, he had his dinner to eat but he's so unbelievably awesome he decided to treat a few of his fans to some drinks.

    There's just someting about the way he said it.

    It's not at all a problem for me; I've got a knack for imitation and memorizing a person's vocal mannerisms, so it's easy to read it the way he says it.

    Once I saw a duck walking down the street
    so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread,
    and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at Subway
    that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch.
    So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich
    and I said I do not care it is for a duck,
    and she was like oh then it's free.

    I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway.

    It's like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.
