The Final act on last nights Just for Laughs(RTE)

DaBreno

Anyone remember the name of the last act on Just for Laughs last night? Guy with long hair, large dark glasses, Ed Byrne introduces him as an act so good He hates him(words to that effect).

What nationality was he?

DaBreno

His accent sounded American

Ruaidhri

Sounds like Mitch Hedberg. Canadian dude, really literal in his jokes? All one liners?

Could be. His act was a series of Jokes delivered one after another. He was extremley funny, I didnt think it was a great series but he almost made up for it on his own.

I was out at 3am and passed a dry cleaners. The sign said "Sorry, We're Closed". Why are you Sorry? Its 3am in the morning. It would be stupid of me to expect you to be open. Did someone ring and say "Its 3am and I cant do my Laundry. You owe me an apology" ?

Yupp! That's Mitch!

Sadly,he passed away last year. Day or two before the pope. I recomment checking out "Strategic Grill Location" and "Mitch All Together"

He's so damned fantastic!

thats the guy alright. I caught the last few seconds of just for laughs. First time i ever laughed with that show. Usually it's full of crap American comedians. This guy was something special from what little i saw of him

Knew his name was Hed something. Thought it was Hedman.
Real shame he died. He was by far the funniest thing I saw on that programme.
-Rice is great when you're hungry and you want two thousand of something!
-Next time I fall in the ocean I will reach for a lime.
His delivery is what made his routine. Spot on.
