That sucks :( His "official" website still has his tour dates for the rest of this week posted, poor dude, I wonder what happened.

One more great comic gone! What a loss indeed.

I love his stuff.
I can't believe this.
This fucking sux!
You funny people have got to stop using that fucking heroin!
Dammit! I'm totally bummed. GOD DAMMIT!
I've never needed to curse so much.

"Pineapple is next."

Definitely a tragic loss to the comedy community. I just hope his family and close friends are able to deal with a loss that came far too early.

I heard about this last night, I was hoping it was a joke, since it hadn't been in any of the media.

This is unbelievable sad.

Making others laugh is as noble, if not more, than most professions... If something does indeed lay after this world, I hope it gets taken into account that he was a helluva comic.

RIP Mitch, you will be missed.

I hadn't known much about him up until a few years ago, but I have a few of his albums now and had been hearing him on Sirius Satellite Radio's comedy channels as a guest on the "Getting Late with Phil" show and as a guest on Jim Breuer's (sp?) daily show "Unleashed."

A huge loss for stand up comedy and the entertainment industry in general.

"My apartment is infested with Koala Bears... they are way better than cockroaches. It's the cutest infestation ever."

This is terrible! This guy was completely funny.. I will miss him! Probably my favorite stand up comedian!! Poor guy.. RIP

oh man. this is horrible...

Here's a ton of quotes for the uninitiated

he was easily my favorite stand-up comic - saw him 4 times and i have tickets to his show that was scheduled for saturday night at the baltimore improv. he was constently writing new material, so seeing him never got old. my favorite gig of his was at UMD a few years ago. he was up on stage for nearly 2 hours, having finished his set long before. the last 30-40 minutes was just the audience calling out their favorite mitch jokes, and then he would tell them. classy, nice guy.

heroin is bad, mkay

R.I.P.

i saw an article about this, this morning, and had a feeling it was a lie. especially since his website was updated TODAY and there was ZERO mention of it. But looking at the site now is impossible atm
as that message pops up. Weird i checked it only 6 hours ago too

Sonafabitch! I read about this on AICN talkback last night and thought it was a hoax. :(
He was a unique and fantastic comedian.

R.I.P., Mitch.

I was introduced to his comedy less than a year ago and loved him. He was hilarious. He will be missed.

"I got tartar, but that shit's under control."

He had been having heart palpatations recently, and appraently he shot some heroin and his heart stopped.

My girlfriend told me about it last night and I thought it was a Steve from Blues Clues or Napoleon Dynamite kinda thing. Guess not. One of my favorite comedians, definitly. The koala bit is priceless.

I refused to believe it for a few days. Now comes the hard acceptance that our world lost one of its most brilliant, understated comedic minds that we've ever had. No matter how many times I listen to him, I'm always on the floor laughing almost as soon as it begins.

"My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, 'Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf.' Koala bears are so cute, why do they have to be so far away from me. We need to ship a few over, so I can hold one, and pat it on its head."

What I loved about Mitch was, his comedy was never at anyone's expense. He had a certain persona that he played, but he always had so much heart in his work. He had a sweetness that was just charming and great, and even though his jokes were the Seinfeld-observational-humor variety, there was a wonderfully warped world-view he was always expressing.

I also love his wordplay jokes, and meta-jokes--jokes that play with the concept of jokes. "I used to do drugs. I still do drugs, but I used to do them too." I mean, that's some funny shit!

its a shame man he was great

Oh no... I just realized who Heberg was when I saw his picture. That really sucks.

That guy made me laugh harder than I ever have before in my life... he had the most amazing delivery that just had me in stitches. I'll miss him.

He never failed to make me laugh. I will definately miss watching him perform.

great points, man. he really did seem like such a genuinely sweet guy, on and off the stage. it's a shame not only because the comedy world lost such a truly unique and hilarious voice, but because the bottom line is he was just a good guy that was taken from the world far too early.
