Mitch Hedberg 1968 - 2005

Hedberg died, reportedly of heart failure, on March 30. I was introduced to his work by #1 Son, when he attended a performance several years back. "Dufrane, party of . . ." and "An extreme liking for cake . . . " quickly became running family gags.

I think fans, as a tribute, might want to collect their doughnut receipts.

Here is his official website. Here is Comedy Central's Hedberg page. And here is an NPR piece from April 2.
