Hypothetical Comedy Festival: (left to right) Kristen Schaal, Chris Rock, Steve Martin and Mitch Hedberg
“I don’t put out. Unless I’m asked very, very politely. And that’s not putting out, that’s just giving in.”
Kristen Schaal
Cred-enhancing up-and-comer
Live, the Flight of the Conchords superfan and alt-scene darling’s cast of characters are odd, endearing and astonishingly original.
“A man is only as faithful as his options.”
Chris Rock
Crowd-drawing superstar
Two decades in, and still at the top of his social-satire game.
“The doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.”
Steve Martin
Out of retirement
Ditch the banjo, forget the unfunny films and bring the arrow-through-the-head out of mothballs.
“I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.”
Mitch Hedberg
Back from the dead
Five years since his death at 37, the stoner-absurdist’s rabid cult following has taken his legacy mainstream.
