The world lost a great comedian! Man it stinks when that happens.
Man, I loved this guy’s act. Only got to see him live one time, but it changed the way I look at stand-up comedy. To me, Mitch was the most underrated comic in the country. He had massive potential to be a huge comedy star. Sorry you were taken from us Mitch, but I have all your stand-up on DvD. And a pack of your cinnamon roll incense. Never opened, never will be. W.L.
Seen a LOT of comedy, and you’re still my favorite. Just saw your movie “Los Enchiladas” and felt pissed off at the end that you’d never release more stuff. Missing you much.
“I put spot remover on my dog and now he’s gone.” I miss you bro…
the best comedian ever. you will be missed. too soon
One liners are the bread & butter of modern comedia!!!!!
