Newcomers to Mitch Hedberg's work and fans of wonderfully random inspired one-liner comedy will love this album.

Those others of us such as myself who have teased out all of his possible albums, That 70's Show appearances, Jimmy Johns commercials and internet-pressed botlegs will also love this album, being the dedicated won-over souls that we are.

Despite a fair deal of "old" material on this album (the odd one-liner that will be familiar, but a classic) there's enough new material and random off-hand banter that was Mitch's befuddled trademark to sustain it.

The album will serve to remind every fan of just how much this unique comedian, who really didn't just entertain but make people happy, is and will be missed.

I am big fan of Mr. Hedberg. The album material is very honest about its content that it is a rough draft. It is 39 minutes long. Though the material is not all good, it is a pleasure to hear him again with almost all new material. I especially enjoyed aspects of its "rough draftness", how he handled hecklers (which is a real highlight of the album) how some of his jokes bombed but how he recovers with wit and honesty. There is a great deal of his material that is as good as his previous stuff and overall I am glad I have this.

I saw Mitch live two times shortly before his early death. I was planning on seeing him again at a show scheduled two months after his death. I would have seen him way more had I known what was going to happen. This CD is awesome! Mitch was at his best when his material did not work, and most of this was a rough draft so a lot of it didn't work. He was the man when it came to admitting these kinds of things. I only remember one joke he told at a show I saw that I wish had made it on this set. I would go into a description of it but it just isn't funny without hearing Mitch tell it himself. Maybe there are some other recordings out there that can be pieced together so it can see the light of day. Anyhow, this cd is awesome and should be purchased by any even mild Mitch Hedberg fan.

Mitch Hedberg died way before his time, and this album is proof. It shows the genius of observation and wit that he was. Covering everything from Medusa to chewing gum, this album is really Mitch at his rawest and best. The album also has some really interesting liner notes as it is mostly excerpts from his journal, which really allows you to see Mitch's thought process. Excellent album, definitely worth buying. RIP Mitch.

This final cd is proof that Mitch was yet to hit his peak. Even though it is just a short rough cut of what might have made up his 3rd cd, it proves that his live material which he vetted everyday was just as good as his recorded material (this cd is just excerpts from his live performances at the Improv in Ontario). It has 13 tracks (which is a Hedberg joke in itself) that keep you listening from beginning to the all too sudden end. This is a must for any lover of Hedberg's material, as well as anyone wanting a album that's a comedic masterpiece.

This truly was his best work without it even being on purpose... the ultimate Hedberg joke.

Mitch Hedberg has been one of my favorite comedians for years. Unfortunately I just recently reached the allowed age to enter comedy clubs, so I never got to see him perform live. But the tribute show was amazing, it just shows how much influence one man can have on so many people in such a short time. This cd is compilation of jokes and material Mitch was working on for his next full length release. It's a bit rough and obviously unfinished but like many of us know, that was part of Mitch's charm. He knew when his jokes were rough and didn't quite pan out, and somehow that just made him funnier. He was hilarious when he only got a few laughs. A great comedian knows how to poke fun at him/herself and how to bounce back with even better jokes moments later. Every Mitch fan would be crazy to not add this to their collection. And if you're just getting into Mitch, this isn't a bad place to start. This has enough material for preexisting fans to appreciate and new listeners to want more.

All new and great material in a high quality recording. A must-have for even the casual fan.

Mitch delivers sgain. I discovered Mitch after he had passed away so I never got the opportunity to try to see him in person, but I have tried to listen to as much of his material as possible. That said, almost every joke on this CD was new to me and it had me laughing hard throughout.

I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Mitch or was told "they might like this". Believe me, you will.

I really had to get my comments on the first page of the reviews. I'm not sure why the first reviewer used the term "scatological" - Mitch is anything but. Probably someone trying to impress with big words. Beyond spell check, some people need a dictionary to actually look up the MEANING of a word. Cripes!

There is NOTHING "scatological" about this CD, or Mitch. The guy was (so sad he's gone) brilliant. My favorites are Mitch coming out of another "think about it" bit, gauging the audience's initial stunned silence, that almost always turns into roaring laughter.

Certainly, the "EXPLICIT" warning is understandable. He drops a few eff's and ess's in his routine, but no more than any current comedian.

5 stars - because I love Mitch and this CD. You can argue that it's not 5 because his type of humor doesn't suit you. But if it does, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended.

This is the perfect CD for both Mitch fans and new listeners. Although the best way to experience Mitch's brilliance is through visual, this CD is a great collection of his best stuff. I cannot say enough great things about this CD. Thanks Mitch for all the laughs and I truly wish you could have stayed longer.
