American comedy superstar and podcast host, Doug Stanhope, is heading back to the UK with a brand new, hilarious stand-up show.
Doug Stanhope is a stand-up comic. Has been since 1990.
His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. Doug is vulgar, opinionated, brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited and is certainly not for everybody.
He started his career in Las Vegas doing jokes for free drinks. Not much has changed, save for the mullet!
Doug is a two-time winner of Time Out New York’s “Best Comedy Performance of the Year”.
He’s appeared at multiple major comedy festivals including Montreal Just For Laughs, Aspen US Comedy Arts, Chicago Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Scotland, where he won the Strathmore Press Award for Best Act of the Fringe in his debut year.
Selected by both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter as one of the Top Ten Comics To Watch.
Previously due to be held at Just The Tonic Nottingham on Tuesday 13th September – all ticketholders should have been contacted by their point of purchase and tickets should be valid for one of the dates below at The Glee Club Nottingham. Please direct any queries to your point of purchase.
"Much of what's wrong with the world melts away in Stanhope's flame... comedy with brains and guts and a heart..."
Guardian
"...the most fearless man in comedy"
Esquire
"an acidic blend of prickly hostility, elaborately articulated self-loathing and righteous anger"
New York Times
"...visionary douchebag...."
The Times of London
"Sharp, off color, and howlingly funny"
San Francisco Chronicle
"If there's such a thing as being too honest in comedy, Doug Stanhope may come close...Stanhope has elevated himself to become one of today's most talked-about artists."
