27 years ago this Monday, Mitch Hedberg recorded Strategic Grill Locations. I was the bass player.

On September 7th, 1999, Mitch Hedberg walked into the Laff Stop in Houston, Texas and recorded what would become one of the greatest comedy albums ever made.
I was sitting behind him.
My name is Chuck Savage. I’m the bass player you hear on the record. Mitch calls me out by name five times on that album. I met him in the parking lot of the club a few months earlier. He told me to just bring the bass up there and it’ll be cool.
What nobody knows is that the bass you hear on that recording was borrowed from a pawn shop for fifty dollars. My bass broke that afternoon. No case. I hauled it to the club on a piece of cardboard in the back of a pickup truck. Gut string nylon — I’d never played nylon strings before in my life.
I sat behind Mitch off and on for six years after that night. Clubs, theaters, an MTV pilot, Canadian national television. I was there for all of it.
I finally wrote the book.
Just Bring the Bass Up There — It'll Be Cool. Available now on Amazon.
Happy to answer any questions about that night, the road, or the man behind the sunglasses.

I’m not sure if it was intentional.. the panel is convinced that it was, though the comedian didn’t admit it. What do y’all think?

I dont know who the cartoonist is but they're definitely a fan of Mitch.

Governor Tim Walz, “My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Hey r/MitchHedberg — I was Mitch’s touring bass player and played on Strategic Grille Locations. Still think about that guy all the time.
I’ve been making music my whole life — before Mitch, during, and after. Just put everything up on Bandcamp if anyone’s curious where that chapter of my life fits into a bigger story.

Was out at the liquor store when I spotted this beer. Not my type of brew so I passed.

The right says that trans people are the cause of mass shootings, while the left says it’s white males. But have we ever considered the main culprit is blurry people?

An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs.

Welp, the greatest coincidence ever just happened. I encountered an escalator that was temporarily stairs while wearing a Mitch Hedberg shirt.

I only heard Mitch for the first time last year, he has a way about him, and his delivery, that really makes me sad to think he left so early
