“You can’t please all the people all the time…and last night, all those people were at my show.”
– Mitch Hedberg (1968 – 2005), iconic American stand-up comic
I’m always torn (see John Belushi) to prop up celebrities that die from drug overdoses. My heart hurts for the loss of an individual, my head ponders the loss of talent.
All that said, Mitch Helberg was. Hilarious.
Watch the clips. Maybe it’s because he says out loud what so many of us smart alecks think, but don’t say… Maybe it’s the delivery. The idiosyncratic presence.
Still, rare is the artist, executive, sales pro or employee who’s able to say — “Doh! I’m not all that!”
Watch some Mitch on video. And laugh. Smile. Take yourself less seriously.
What you’ll see is a professional more concerned with honoring their craft than pleasing….well….anyone.
More Mitch to follow. Hope it makes a difference.
