My Review of Doug Stanhope - A Comedian's Comedian

procrastilearner (61)in #comedy • 6 years ago

Listening to a Doug Stanhope show is definitely a rough ride. He is not for everyone but he is one of my favourite comedians.

Standhope's comedy is dark and weird and he goes places that sometimes even I have to scrub through.

I think one of the main reasons I like him is because he is unique and in a sea of comedians who are so similar to each other and so careful about what they say lest they offend someone that they are tedious and boring.

If you like politics and are not afraid to have your views challenged then maybe Stanhope is for you.
