Descriptions such as honest, dark, and unflinching are often give to Doug Stanhope’s comedy. Much of that is due to his upbringing, specifically with his mother who imparted as much comedy history to him as she did with life experience gained from bringing Doug to an AA meeting.

Digging Up Mother: A Love Story is the story of how Stanhope said goodbye to his singular mother as she came to a point where she didn’t want to live anymore. The sweetness of a sincere valediction gets outfitted in Stanhope’s unfiltered sense of humor for a book that will undoubtedly take you through that wide range of emotions that comedy is capable of encompassing.
