Mitch Hedberg is very similar to Steven Wright in the style of comedy he does. Both use disjointed stream of thought one liners and short jokes. Although unlike Steven Wright, who basically relies almost completely upon kairos, Hedberg seems to create more pathos with his audience. His comedy seems more animated and personal than Wright’s, which ends up making both comedians, although similar in their material, very different.
I believe it is Hedbergs sincerity and intonation that inevitably draw his audience in, creating pathos.
