Oooh, he’s funny. He did a show here a few months ago, but of course I had no money to go see him. There’s a local band here who do live spots on the radio sometimes. The lead singer sounds just like him, very funny. I didn’t know he had a CD out. Thanks. thi6 ---

This guy is easily the funniest man alive! My dad and I LOVE him! Thanks so much for the link. ---

The man is hilarious. “Let me tell you about the differences between frogs and bears…when I want some honey, I don’t have to _squeeze_ a plastic **frog**.” ---

My wife and I saw him live a few months ago. Definitely funny, but he was drunk off his ass and had trouble keeping the act focused. He was already lit when he got on stage, and he pounded at least three more vodkas during his 45-minute set. Another 20 minutes and his slurring would have rendered him unintelligible, if he didn’t fall off the stage first. We enjoyed the material, but I have to say, we were a little disappointed in his unprofessional presentation. And besides, the funniest man alive is Eddie Izzard. There is no competition. ---

Yeah, he’s great. He did some voices on the first season on Home Movies. ---

agreed that Mitch is hilarious… "My apartment is infested with koala bears… it is the **cutest** infestation EVER. I turn on my lights at night and koala bears scatter EVERYWHERE." Saw him live, and while I don’t think he was sober, my experience was better than **Cervaise’s**. He was a riot. But let’s be clear here, I agree with him. Eddie Izzard is the funniest man alive. No question. ---

I love him and will always leave his comedy special on if I see it. Although it took me a little while to get over his extremely laid back style. I saw him on some late night show on broadcast TV once. He didn’t seem drunk but man the crowd just wasn’t buying his humor at all. It was very interesting to see his reaction back stage with the other comedians after he bombed. ---

Eddie Izzard! This is the first place I’ve come where people actually know who he is. Every time I bring him up elsewhere, all I get are blank stares (in RL), or a lot of question marks. “I have to go now, because my grandmother’s on fire” thi6 ---

I’ve seen him three times, including the time which he recorded his cd (in houston). definately the funniest stand-up comedian. ---

I love his stuff!!! Could listen to it 24/7. Like the one about flying the chair…helping his friend stay put…and finding the Dufraines. ---

I actually got a chance to go see him live a few months ago, and he was freakin hilarious. I was worried that I would have heard all his stuff after looking at the website, and having his CD, but he had lots of new material, and he was FREAKING HILARIOUS. haha ---

“I liked the two. I could break a two.” We used that line everywhere in Pittsburgh. WMU Lacrosse loves Mitch, no doubt. ---

Are you guys sure Mitch was drunk? I’m seen him perform several times, and he sounds and acts like a major stoner… onstage. Somewhat like Dean Martin… ---
