Doug Stanhope is an unapologetically raw and fearless comedian known for his dark humor, sharp social commentary, and no-holds-barred delivery. With a career spanning decades, he has built a cult following through his brutally honest takes on politics, addiction, and human nature. A master of provocative storytelling, Stanhope’s stand-up blends cynicism, intelligence, and a touch of chaos, making him one of the most uncompromising voices in comedy.
"Let me tell you something, friends. Doug Stanhope is one funny sumbitch. He's also one of the most twisted individuals I've ever met, but that's part of his charm. He's one of those comics that doesn't make shit up. He lives a mad, mad life and what he remembers he reports back to us. He's been known to bare his soul, and other things, right there on thestage. If you're easily offended, stay home this week. Watch Matlock or something. But if you like your comedy rough, raw, and rowdy, there's no one better than Doug Stanhope. Have I made myself clear?"
- Austin Chronicle
"He blazed with the honesty, outrage and lucidity that made his name... Much of what's wrong with the world melts away in Stanhope's flame... comedy with brains and guts and a heart", "the charm, don't-give-a-damn swagger and aggressive intelligence that make for important, exciting comedy."
- The Guardian, London
