Doug Stanhope is one of God's own prototypes. Too weird to live, too rare to die. A hybrid of Tom Waits, Bill Hicks, and other higher level conscientiousness's. All rolled within a smoking, rolling, screaming machine that is only calling to the sleeper within all of us, to waken.

Late to the party: several weeks ago I inadvertantly stumbled upon this incredibly rare genius, this amazing comedy anomaly, and I immediately found myself consumed by regret & disappointment - I'm horribly embarrassed I didn't discover Mr. Stanhope's phenomenal performances much sooner than early 2019. When I think about the dozens of hours wasted watching/listening to droves of talentless, sanitized hacks pillaging what's left of the once-sacred comedy stage, I want to scream toward the heavens to reclaim the time I pissed away on "comedians" who couldn't come close to being an infected ingrown hair on raw, edgy, brave comedy gods like Carlin, Pryor, Williams, Hicks, Burr, Geraldo, and now - for me - most certainly, Doug Stanhope. Catching a Stanhope show in-person has just shot to the top of my very lean bucket list.
