Mitchell Lee “Mitch” Hedberg was an American stand-up comedian and actor born in St. Paul, Minnesota, recognized for his unique, laid-back comedic style and distinctive hippie look.
Hedberg’s comedy career began in Florida, later taking him to Seattle and then to national recognition through appearances on MTV’s Comikaze and the Late Show with David Letterman.
His talents won him the 1997 grand prize at the Seattle Comedy Competition and by 1999 he had completed an independent feature film, “Los Enchiladas!”.
Hedberg also released three comedy CDs and made multiple appearances at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival.
Despite his premature death, Hedberg’s influence in the entertainment industry is big.
