AUSTIN TX: Mitch Hedberg Tribute Show

[Cupid Stunt]

ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE RITZ

OCTOBER 11th and 12th, 2009




When comedian Mitch Hedberg passed away in 2005, a Mitch Hedberg-sized hole was left in the hearts of millions of fans. The brilliant-if-odd comedian will forever be imitated by new generations of slacker-suave one-line wannabes, but his unique style and blistering wit will never be replicated. So you might as well just get used to that hole in your heart and come out to celebrate the work of a comedy legend. Hedberg's widow, comedian Lynn Shawcroft, had decided to share an incredibly rare tribute to her late husband. We'll finally get a peak at Mitch's 1999 directorial debut LOS ENCHILADAS!, which premiered at Sundance but never saw a theatrical release. Plus, she'll send along other never-before-seen Hedberg laugh-inducers, including an unseen TV pilot and other gems that have been selfishly kept behind the locked doors of suits who never got the joke. LOS ENCHILADAS! is loosely based on Mitch’s life growing up in Minnesota and his experience working in restaurants, featuring performances by Hedberg himself, Todd Barry, Dave Attel and Marc Maron. We miss you, Mitch.

I think I'm planning on coming down the 10th for Norm at Cap City, then staying the next day for this.
