In 2012, Stanhope released his comedy special Before Turning the Gun on Himself, recorded in Salt Lake City.

He named it after how commonplace the phrase was on online news articles. The defence that ‘just because bigots like my stuff unironically doesn’t make me a bigot’ is morally thin ice, but Stanhope likes the thrill of dancing there.Indeed, prepared statements of crocodile-tear, sorry-not-sorry apologies for any offence caused are a running joke, a commentary on the cultural tug-of-war that comedy finds itself caught in the middle of.

A routine in his new self-released special that will definitely leave an impact is an out-and-out racist rant against weak, effete Indian men that is designed to be as horribly uncomfortable as possible. And now, Doug Stanhope is adding himself to that ever-growing list, with his new special Filmed at The Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, the special finds Doug on a “fun-filled cavort through a dark wealth of material, uniting topics as disperate as child fatalities, hotel chain misery and all the things you can do in Indiana.”Judging by the trailer, where he talks about “making fun”, it seems to be just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from Doug Stanhope.

Some release the tension through gallows laughter, others will find it too problematic to enjoy, and a third group yet might even agree - to the extent he has to distance himself from any racists who might mistake him for a fellow traveller. re: Doug Stanhope's new special Posted by lsuwontonwrap on 6/8/20 at 8:24 pm to vandelay industries I'm a fan.

Doug Stanhope performs live in Las Vegas, the city where he first performed stand-up comedy.

He revels in the mixed reactions. ‘Brutal’ is probably an over-used adjective to describe edgelord comedy, but if any stand-up can lay claim to it, The Dying of a Last Breed is another typically relentless, vicious assault on polite sensibilities from the embittered, eloquent and emphatic nihilist.

Doug Stanhope to release new stand-up special, “The Dying of a Last Breed” appeared first on The Laugh Button.

The forthcoming hour-long Comedians’ Comedian’s Comedians will hit the all-things-comedy streaming service Seeso this June.. Doug Stanhope: Comedians’ Comedian’s Comedians was taped on March 14 at Esther’s Follies theater during this year’s South by Southwest in Austin, TX. Might as well try to make fun of it.

Doug Stanhope: Well, this gives me a way to connect with my friends and family that I’ll be avoiding when I’m there. Our ads are non-intrusive and relevant. And now, Doug Stanhope is adding himself to that ever-growing list, with his new special The Dying of a Last Breed. The one thing that has been helping us get through this lockdown is the amount of stand-up specials coming out. In fact, as a proud scuzzball, he appreciates hanging out in lowlife dives that are at least honest about themselves over disappointing beige two-and-a-half-star off-freeway chains.This is depicted in a breathless stream-of-consciousness diatribe that draws laughs from its relentless stream of bluntly unforgiving descriptions. Like many comedians of his ilk, defending bad-taste comedy is now an essential part of his set, justifying why ‘making fun of’ something grim can never be bad.He doesn’t build incrementally to the bleak stuff, either: the very first routine is about dead children, throwing in some abortion material for good measure. This comic oratorio inspired by Monty Python's Life of Brian was performed at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2009 to celebrate 30 years of the movie and 40 years of Monty Python and featured appearances from Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones.Chortle had 62,739 unique users in the seven days to August 11. The dude just keeps getting darker and darker with his comedy.

Doug’s takedown of our recently revitalized PC culture, which has only worsened since the record’s release, serves as the perfect opening to an hour of relentless comedy that actually encourages thought and action on the part of the audience member. He vividly describes the seedy life of a road comic, flitting from one drab motel room to the next. It’s a technique he uses again later in a grim portrait of old age, the rhythms of his delivery and his sheer determination to batter the Las Vegas audience with the imagery overwhelm any sympathy for the poor saps he describes in what’s another darkly funny chunk.There are some lulls over the course of the special, especially in some of the tales that have a ‘lads on tour’ banter vibe with more frat-boy swagger than content - despite Stanhope’s bid to put a #MeToo spin on it. Help keep Chortle viable.
