ive seen mitch all over comedy central and late night with david Letterman and i have been to one of his shows and bought this cd there. It is so funny. it is unedited and even the parts that didnt go well with the audience, mitch had something funny to say. His unique style and delivery sets him apart from most comics and his quick qit keeps you on your toes. there is no down moment and mitch keeps you asking "where does he come up with this stuff." i have yet to play this cd for someone who didnt enjoy it.

When I heard Mitch had passed away a few weeks ago, I had to buy both CDs knowing I'd never get to see him perform again. He is an incredible ... incredible ... talented comedian. Everything he says is just a stitch. He takes the ordinary and makes you laugh like no other. My favorite from this CD ... the koala infestation. Oh gosh...I feel a giggle coming on. He's brilliant.

This is some funny stuff right here. I come into school each morning and tell my students a few new jokes from the CD. I take out the language of course. My parents must be getting tired of hearing "I think Bigfoot is blurry. That's the problem." I first heard Mitch on XM Radio. It's sad to find out that he passed away, especially so soon after I discovered him.

If you like to laugh, you'll love this CD.

I don't think a funnier comedy CD exists, or ever will exist. For many years now I have been listening to his CD's on a weekly basis. They make me laugh just as hard as the first time, everytime.

I listen to dozens of different stand up comedians, and in my opinion, no one has even come anywhere close to Mitch. He blew them all out of the water.

This is my favorite of his 2 CD's, but they are both fantastic. 5 stars each.

Unfortunately Mitch just passed away at the young age of 37. Luckily he left us the most brilliant comedy discs ever. I will continue to listen to them all the time, as I mourn the loss of my favorite comedian... and a man whom felt very near to my heart.

Check out this CD, and spread the Mitch Hedberg love to the world.

Nothing will ever defeat this disc as my number one comedy album of all time. I will miss you Mitch.

I saw Mitch's special on Comedy Central and couldn't wait to hear more. This album has some of the same jokes but it didn't matter! They still made me laugh! There's a ton of different materials, too. I've been listening to the CD on my way to work and I totally recommend it. It makes the drag of commuting so much better. My only warning is that Mitch curses a lot on this CD -- it is definitely uncensored.

Sadly Mitch Hedberg only left us two albums. I think this one is the better of the two. While Mitch All Together is also funny, this one seems to have the relaxed and natural Hedberg. If you watch some of his TV Spots (witch are included in the DVD for Mitch All Together)you can see he does not like crowds and cameras, but this, being an early work, was recorded with Mitch doing what he does best. Clever and silly without resorting to being raunchy just for cheap laughs like so many comics do, this is a great comedy album whose background filling base line and down to earth simplicity make you feel like you are in Houston listening as part of the audience. Its also good to have on while entertaining or just cleaning your house.

This is one of the best stand-up CD's I've ever heard and certainly one of the few worth buying. The material is funny, cute, and just basically worthwhile. The show is kind of vaudvillian in its appeal - there are a lot of one-liners, and Mitch was clearly really smart, but his confused stoner schtick makes everyone listening take themselves a little less seriously, which can't be a bad thing. Pay no attention to the parental advisory sticker - it's only worth worrying about if you think the f-word is the worst thing anyone could possibly say. The material is clean and harmless and contains a number of four-letter words because hey, that's how he talks.

When Mitch Hedberg suffered a fatal heart attack in 2005, the world lost one of the most original an interesting comedians ever. He will be missed.

While Hedberg's material consists of either bad puns, stressed observations, or corny one-liners, it is never anything less than genius. His drug enduced/enhanced comedy is funny for everyone; you don't need to be high to laugh at his the things he says. Some of the funniest jokes ever written come from the mind of this stoner.

Though his material is solid, Hedberg's delivery is one of the funniest jokes in his act. Of course I mean that in a good way. Every joke is put forth with a dismissive, matter-of-factual attitude. It's almost as though he has forgotten about being on stage. If a joke doesn't work, he just moves on (one benefit of his material type) or delivers a sarcastic "yeah". You will not soon forget this comedian.

Strategic Grill Locations(SGL) contains over 60 minutes of material. I know that's pretty standard for a comedy CD, but keep in mind that none of Hedberg's jokes last more than 20 seconds. That means that there are over one hunderd jokes on this disk (I'm not going to take the time to count them all). The packaging is standard fare, but don't let something so trivial distract you from the greatness of this CD.

Whether you are adding to your comedy collection, or just starting out, buy this CD! I promise you'll love it.

I think my sentiments mirror most of the posts on here but I will try not to be too redundant. I prefer MAT over Grill but don't get me wrong, this is a must have. I bought these in the wrong order, I purchased MAT and was so impressed that I bought this one the next day. On MAT he is "on". He is much more crisp (sober perhaps?)and the audience on MAT is obviously more familiar with his stuff and they are with him from the getgo. On Grill he moves at much slower pace, mumbling much more and takes a while to get going. You can tell the audience doesn't quite know what to make of him at first. His delivery on this is definitely quite different than here. He might have just been more intoxicated at this gig, who knows. I wish I'd had a chance to see him live. I had seen him on Comedy Central years ago but didn't realize his true genius until I purchased his CDs after his death. He will be like Bill Hicks, underappreciated until after his death. RIP.

Mitch Headberg friggin' rocks. Definitely one of the funniest comedians I have EVER heard. There should be more than 5 stars to give this album. My friends and I have fallen in love with this CD, and we never go on any long trips without Mitch in the player. We find ourselves constantly quoting his one-liners, because any Mitch Hedberg fan knows that anything in life can be related back to one of his jokes. I'm sure his material is either love it or hate it, but I love it. I never get tired of listening to it, no matter how many times I've heard it.
