Write a haiku; win Mitch Hedberg’s new album

Digg!

By now, you surely know that Comedy Central is releasing a brand new Mitch Hedberg album Sept. 9. It’s called Do You Believe in Gosh?

“I was looking at one of Mitch’s notebooks after he died and that line was written on a page along with some other notes. I just kind of liked it,” Hedberg’s widow, comedian Lynn Shawcroft told Punchline Magazine. “It’s not a line from a joke or anything.” Click here for our previous coverage on Mitch’s album.

Punchline Magazine is giving away three copies of the album. All you need to do is write a haiku (that’s a three-line poem with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five again in the third) about Mitch Hedberg and send it here: contest@punchlinemagazine.com. Make sure “Mitch” is in the subject line. We will choose our three favorite ones, post them online and send those peeps a copy of the album! When you enter, please include your name and address. We will print your town, so you have to be cool with that.

Mitch Hedberg

Do You Believe in Gosh? is the long-awaited third album from the comedy icon, Mitch Hedberg, set for release on Comedy Central Records on Tues, Sept 9.

Recorded two months prior to his death, the album contains nearly 40 minutes of previously unreleased stand-up material. The CD captures most of the material Hedberg was working on for what would have been his next full-length album in a free-form show with a large amount of audience interaction.

Mitch Hedberg was one of the most beloved comedians and world renown for his off-kilter one-liners and inimitable style. He died in March of 2005 with nearly an album’s worth of new material he was preparing to
record later that October. While he never got a chance to record the album as he wanted, Do You Believe In Gosh? was taped live just prior to his passing and captures a large portion of his new jokes.
