“Doug might be the most important stand-up working today.” – Ricky Gervais

“[Doug Stanhope’s comedy is] an acidic blend of prickly hostility elaborately articulated self-loathing, and righteous anger.” – New York Times

LOS ANGELES, CA., APRIL 3, 2017 – Doug Stanhope is live in Savannah at Barrelhouse South for one night only! Along for the ride is comedian pal Brett Erickson.

The last year has been a busy one for Stanhope, whom Louis C.K. called “one of the best comics in the world for a very long time.” His first book Digging Up Mother: A Love Story, was published by Da Capo in spring 2016. Featuring a forward by Johnny Depp, it’s the absurdly funny and touching chronicle of the death of Stanhope’s mother. It’s also now available as an audio book, which Stanhope himself narrates “podcast style” (i.e. while oftentimes drunk) with assistance from Chad Shank and special guests.

Last fall, Doug also premiered his latest comedy special, No Place Like Home. Filmed in November 2015 in his hometown of Bisbee, AZ, it’s streaming now via Seeso.

His live show was twice named “Best Stand-Up Show” of the year by Time Out New York, his confrontational rants encompassing caustic social commentary, outlandish first-person narratives, graphic sex and perversion – sometimes within the same sentence. Fueled by equal amounts of anger, outrage, and alcohol, Stanhope rails against western civilization’s slide into apathy and stupidity, always on the edge of implosion yet fully in control and never afraid to risk pissing off his audiences. “Stanhope is a genius parading around the slums of failed ideology…he’s Charles Bukowski with dick jokes drunkenly fueled by Thomas Payne,” declared The San Antonio Current.
