    One of the saddest parts of his documentary was that he suffered from extreme self-doubt. And because his jokes are so smart, it takes people a second to laugh and that short time lapse often made him feel that the joke failed...... He was literally a victim of his own brilliance.

    Mitch had debilitating stage fright, that's why his eyes are closed. I've also seen him do shows where he had his back to the audience for a lot of it.... I've also seen him lay down on the stage and try to do his show on his back ... his career and death were really sad, even though he was brilliant. I had tickets to see him at the Richmond Funny Bone and he never showed up... when we walked out I told my friend, "he better be dead somewhere"... a day or two later they announced he had been found dead in a hotel room In New Jersey. The whole thing honestly fucked me up, It's like 20 years later and every time I hear about or see Mitch Hedberg I still regret saying it.

    They might have made him take a physical for insurance as part of his contract. They're gonna spend a bunch of money on him for the special. So they get him insured, and the insurance company makes him take a physical as part of their risk assessment. So they know how much to charge the production company for insurance.

      I can’t remember which 30 minute special he did, but the crowd was just not into it. He was a vet in comedy at this point, but the crowd was just weird. A few minutes before his special was about to end, he pretty much said “fuck it, we’re starting over” and then another 40 minute set and had the audience howling. No idea how much the staff liked it, but I’ve never seen a come back like that before.
      Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, he died early. Still, even in the short time he had, one of his more endearing qualities was how out of the way he went for other upcoming comedians. Mitch was a headliner, but even during that time he would travel to open for upcoming comedians who he felt just needed a chance.
      He and Steven Wright just dominated the one liner standup style. I’m sure all good comedians can pull off some great one liners, but to make it their entire show and still be funny, that is special.
      One thing to look out for, which is also entertaining, is how much he laughs and makes fun of his own jokes. Not like “haha, my jokes are so funny I laugh too,” but, “I tried to make another joke out of the joke I just told and now they both suck. I should not do that again.”

    One of the most surprising things when you first watch Mitch Hedberg is how innocent all of his jokes are. He had serious substance issues (and ultimately died from that), hence, it's easy to expect his jokes will be all dark or twisted, but they're all just Dad jokes delivered from a stoner's mindset, as if he'd just get high all day, think of something that makes him laugh and jots it down on paper. lol.
    I always loved his joke about the family photo on top of the VCR. lol

    You've watched a lot of contemporary stand up comedians. I'd be curious to see how you react to the work of Victor Borge. Borge was a Danish classical pianist, as well as a comedian. His stage shows featured him telling jokes, and playing piano with hilarious twists and spoofs and jokes thrown in. He passed away in 2000 at the age of 91. He had a long, wonderful career in Denmark and America, appearing in films, television, and on stage. I had the privilege of seeing him live twice, in the 90s. He was as sharp and quick-witted as ever, right up to the end. I think you would get a kick out of his stuff. "Phonetic Punctuation" is a classic. His take on opera is hilarious, with him performing all the roles of a fictional opera, while seated at his piano. He had a routine where he was supposed to be the accompanist to an opera singer: she takes it very seriously, but he gets silly about it. He has a wonderful bit about Mozart. You should check him out.

    Because Mitch had stage fright, he would wear sun glasses and let his hair cover his eyes (which most of the time was closed)
    He gets so much credit for conquering his fears like that

    The physical likely has to do with it being a television production. Happens in movies too. Kevin Smith has mentioned doing physicals in preparation for directing his movies. It likely has everything to do with studios and production companies getting insurance on directors and actors in case of the unfortunate event something happens to them during filming - they might recoup some of the costs of reshooting or the project not coming out at all.

    One of my personal favs. To answer your question; Yes, he’s closing his eyes. Mitch suffered from serious stage fright and didn’t like standing in front of an audience. Wearing sunglasses and closing his eyes was his way of dealing with it. Great reaction. ✌️

    "How do you remember all those jokes, in order?" --> In Mitch's case, he literally wrote them down on a piece of paper and referenced it on stage. Between his stage fright, and drug/alcohol use, he used the list to keep him moving forward.
    He explicitly references it in many recorded performances - one an official CD release.

  • @Trix897
    @Trix897 Год назад +1

    I can only think of one reason why he would need a physical is for insurance purposes, since he was a known drug addict (mostly heroin). They would have wanted insurance in case he had to cancel due to an overdose or being unable to perform due to his drug use, so they could recoup their losses.
    This man was a goddamn genius as a performer, and it breaks my heart that he died so young when he had a long career in comedy ahead of him. Definitely one of my favorites.

    For this Special, Comedy Central had packed the audience with people they gave free tickets to. The crowd was lifeless and Mitch was bombing for a good portion because of his unique style. By the end, he had won them over but the final Special edit pads the first 70% with laughs from the trail end. Mitch had some serious anxiety and struggled with the thought that people hated him. He frequently did his sets and kept his eyes closed to subdued those negative thoughts.
