Reader From Down Under: Identify This Comic!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 8th, 2004

We have a pretty good record when it comes to identifying comedians who’ve been seen on the telly or when we’re provided with nothing more than a punchline. We got this email recently:

I am writing to you to see if the impossible can be achieved. I live in Australia and watch the Comedy Channel quite regularly, one night whilst watching the Comedy Channel they had the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival on. One of the comedians was a guy who was really funny but they didn’t back-announce his name, so, to this day, I have no idea who he was but would dearly love to find out his name. All I remember was part of his routine which was about someone in the next hotel/motel room banging on the wall suggesting he be quiet and he responded with, “Go round, I don’t know what’s on your side but there’s no door on mine. Go round to the door.” As I said, I know this is probably impossible and if you cannot help do you know who I could contact or where I could start searching. The man had long brown hair and a goatee beard.
Thank you for your help,

If we had to guess, just on the clues provided, we’d say it was Mitch Hedberg. What do our readers say? Leave your guesses by hitting the comment button at the end of this post!
