Do You Believe in Gosh?

September 9, 2008 by towerblog

Is there a better comedy album name in the history of this world? Rephrase: Mitch Hedberg’s posthumous comedy CD titled “Do You Believe in Gosh?” is, quite frankly, the best title I’ve ever heard!

Hedberg who tragically died in 2005 of a drug overdose at the young age of 37, is best remembered for his bizarre, yet hilarious stream of consciousness style of comedy. This album is a compilation of recorded shows from his residency at an Ontario, California comedy club.

Mitch Hedberg is often referred to as the Kurt Cobain of Comedy — too talented and too ahead of his time for his own good. He’s a bit of a cult figure for many comedy fans — in fact, Hedberg is an essential staple for college kids.

The liner notes include excerpts from his personal journal, which provides an interesting insight into his world. Isn’t it always the case that the funniest people and are usually the most conflicted? If only there were a way we could provide the same type of comic relief Hedberg provides us — but, of course, it’s too late.

This final album of material which was originally recorded as a trial run, is now all that we have left from this funny, funny man.
