Doug Stanhope is one of my favorite comics. He’s hilarious and his political commentary is right up my alley. The Onion’s AV Club did an interview with him last month that I’ve been meaning to blog.
From the AV Club:
Doug Stanhope has a great fist-fuck joke for you
“Striking a tone somewhere between ironic bemusement and outright disgust, comedian Doug Stanhope traffics in the sort of caustic social commentary plied by George Carlin and Bill Hicks—though neither Carlin nor Hicks ever incited actual riots, as Stanhope has been known to do.
(snip)
He’s puts his money where his foul mouth is, whether it’s seriously considering a 2008 presidential run or offering $25,000 toward an abortion for Bristol Palin.”
Stanhope was recently on The Alex Jones show. It’s pretty funny but if you’re a fan of either it’s hilarious. He even got Alex to talk about pleasant things which was surprising. He also riles him up some which is enjoyable. You can watch it on YouTube here.
If you get a chance to see Stanhope in person I recommend it. I have and loved it! His fans are pretty rowdy and he’s usually drunk on stage. But that just makes the whole show better somehow.
