NEW YORK, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- "Mitch Across America: One Nation Under
Gosh" is a series of live comedy shows occurring simultaneously in clubs
across the country, all in celebration of Mitch Hedberg and "Do You Believe In
Gosh?"  The nation-wide event will occur on Tuesday, September 9, the date the
album is officially released to the public.
    "Do You Believe in Gosh?" is the long-awaited third album from comedy
icon, Mitch Hedberg, set for release on COMEDY CENTRAL Records on Tuesday,
September 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

interaction.  The album pulses with Hedberg's inimitable wit and spirit and is
a document of a comedy master.    Show information for "Mitch Across America"
