Mitchâs disease was worse than alcoholism. Or, same thing I guess, just to a drug that grabs you much more quickly and kills you just as.
I read somewhere the other day that what he was like on-stage was just what he was like off. That thatâs just who he was, and it was always on.
Fascinating mind, his, and I think one of the greatest comedians of my lifetime. I think I only saw him once on TV when I was growing up - Letterman? And then he died a bit later. Anecdotally it feels like thereâs been a bit of a resurgence in appreciation towards him in the last couple of years - I see him quoted quite a bit these days.
His material ranks with the very best ever. I donât think his stage presence and delivery were particularly strong, though. Itâs almost funnier reading his lines than seeing video of him.
Completely agree Chris. On the one hand actually enjoyed his delivery. But itâs almost like a wine you enjoy intellectually - more than a glass and you want to switch to something else.
Tylenol/Acetaminophen is the one that you really, really, really do not want to take in combination with alcohol. My understanding is that the others arenât so bad.
The comedian whose material is the most similar to Mitch Hedburg in my opinion â Steven Wright â had a perfect delivery for those types of lines. Heâs considerably funnier to see perform than to read his lines (though reading them is still great).
Yes, Tylenol/acetaminophen with alcohol can cause real liver damage. Advil/ibuprofen with alcohol carries some ulcer risk. (Caveat: Iâm not a doctor. I just play one online.)
I must be the only one but, WTF IS THIS THREAD ABOUT?!? Did someone, a first time poster, come on an ask about hangover cures or something? I must have missed it. That, or Iâm a moronâŚwhich is entirely likely.
