Eugene Mirman Gives Awesome Graduation Speech

Eugene Mirman is part of the alt-comedy elite, performing with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford on the Comedians of Comedy tour, and opening for bands like Modest Mouse, Yo La Tengo, Gogol Bordello and Cake. He's performed on bills with Stella, and featured kosher comic Andy Kindler. He's got the rock n' roll comedy street cred. We are pretty sure he's Jewish, and 100% sure he's a genius.

When he was asked to give the commencement speech this year at his alma mater, Lexington High School, Mirman was shocked, and accused the administration of making a "terrible mistake," but he was wrong. Lexington High School made the perfect choice, because this may go down as one of the best comic graduation speeches ever.

he really shouldn't have been surprised. Mirman has been doling out useful information for youngsters for quite some time.



We'll agree with Mr. Mirman. We think he's the "the world's foremost Eugene-named entertainer."
