Mitch Hedberg

For the first time I can remember, Tech hosted a well known comic. Mitch Hedberg came through Ruston tonight and put on a great show.

He's starting a tour with stephen lynch on the 8th of October, so he agreed to come do a show so he could test out some material, and get used to being in front of an audience. Most of the new stuff that he had was great, and even the stuff that wasn't all that good was funny because he always had something funny to say after a joke would bomb.

The only bad part of the show, as usual, came from the audience. There were probably 10 people or so who, when he was between jokes, would yell requests for some of his old jokes. He told most of the requested jokes, but it was annoying us, and annoying him toward the end. He was just trying to get his new material out, and see how well some of the jokes went over before he took the new stuff on tour.

The show was great, even with some small annoyances from the audience. I'm gonna be on the lookout for his new cd, cause his new material is hilarious.
