Ok,
This comic is very different. He recently ranked 14 in the 2009 Comedy Central Stand-up Showdown. He goes by the name of Mitch Hedberg. He is a very clever comedian, more of a random revelation comedian. He uses a lot of witty one-liner jokes. There isn't another comedian like him. He is able to make normal every day average things hilarious, but in a different way than Jerry Seinfeld. His jokes setups aren't as long first off, and then his presentation is different. It isn't a very good presentation style (no eye contact, almost slurred speech, wears sunglasses), but these things somehow match up with the act very well. With all of his presentation he just manages to fire out short, fast jokes one after the other after the other. His "character" is what makes his act finished. He has very long hair and usually is wearing bit dark sunglasses. His appearance and his witty jokes combine to produce an act that is never really done before.
I give him a 8 out of 10. I would say he deserves more for his wittiness but i can't leave out the fact of his presentation. *cough* 9 out of 10 *cough* :P
I highly do recommend this comedian, but sadly i do regret to say that he has passed away. It is a sorrowsome subject, but he will not have any new comedy.
Make yall laugh later,
Jonny

I totally agree. Most of Hedberg's act came from the character he was in rather than the jokes. The character helped to prop up the jokes and make them funnier. It wasn't just about the punchlines with Hedberg, but it was the entire experience.
ReplyDeleteExactly and i was going to give him a 6 out of 10, but as you said it all mostly came from his character so i gave him a pass from the presentation part.
ReplyDeleteI love Hedberg, i'd never heard of him before till i was up late one night and just randomly saw him, he made me laugh sooooo hard.
