Mitch Hedberg Mitch All Together

Absurd like Steven Wright but nowhere near as laid-back, Mitch Hedberg throws out one bizarre observation after another on Mitch All Together. Hedberg builds on Wright's weird observational slant and has the same obsession with minutia, but while Wright was the man who fell to earth, Hedberg is a thinking man's Jeff Spicoli. It seems that many fans of Mitch Hedberg had a hard time swallowing his latest CD. For me though, it was really great hearing some new material. Strategic Grill Locations is probably a better lead off cd for new listeners, but as a follow up CD, Mitch All Together is just about as good as it.

Strategic Grill Locations is a comedy album from Mitch Hedberg. It is a recording of a performance at The Laff Stopcomedy club in Houston, Texas, on September 7, 1999. The album was originally self-published by Hedberg and sold through his website and at shows. In conjunction with the release of his second album, Mitch All Together, the Comedy Central label also re-released this album, editing out some jokes that did not get much reaction. This re-release was packaged in a digipack. The original release featured a different cover.[2]

Like Mitch All Together, the title Strategic Grill Locations is taken from a joke that does not actually appear on the album:

Mitch Hedberg Mitch All Together

See I'm a dreamer, man, and when I was a cook I'd always work with people who weren't dreamers. Like, I was cooking at this restaurant and I put a hot dog on the grill and my kitchen manager came over, and he said, 'Mitch, put the hot dog up here, in the right hand corner of the grill, so in case you get a whole bunch of orders at once you have all this space available.' See that's how I knew he wasn't a dreamer, 'cause the day I give up my dreams is the day I have strategic grill locations. A dreamer has a philosophy: The entire grill is hot.

Strategic Grill Locations contains 21 tracks of mostly one-liners. Tracks contain a series of both related and unrelated jokes, and are named for one of them. Hedberg's performance is accompanied by Chuck Savage on double bass.
