Known for his unique humor and comedy style, Mitch Hedberg was born in Minnesota in 1968. He completed his formal education at Saint Paul’s Harding High School and subsequently moved to Florida due to the state’s warmer weather. While there, he enhanced his comedic skills before moving again to reach new audiences. After his move to Seattle, he began to tour in the Pacific Northwest.
Although Hedberg performed in numerous cities, including Los Angeles, and appeared on several cable television shows, such as “Comedy Product” on Comedy Central and “Comikaze” on MTV, he did not experience a major breakthrough until 1996. In that year, he performed at the Just for Laughs Montreal International Comedy Festival and earned a spot on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
The following year, he won the Seattle Comedy Competition’s grand prize and subsequently appeared on “That ’70s Show.” His reputation continued to bring him success. He debuted in the feature film “Los Enchiladas!” in 1999. Then he appeared on several addition television shows between 2000 and 2004 and recorded comedy CDs, the last of which was released in 2008 following his death in 2005.
