At this point, history will look back at Doug Stanhope as a foundational and influential comedian and what he has done for the art form and keeping its edge thoroughly sharp and actually speaking truth to power while being downright hysterical. It should almost go without saying that you should take up every single possible chance to see Doug live any time that you can.
In LA and NYC, that’s an incredibly rare happening, but it does happen every few years. Lucky for Angelenos, Doug is playing The Main Room at The Comedy Store this week, Tues 3/15 & Wed. 3/16 at 8PM PT. The Tuesday show is already sold out, but there are limited tickets available for Wed. for $45 (+ 2 drink min.).
Go get them here if they’re not sold out already (or wait at The Comedy Store for stand by because Stanhope, again, is truly worth it)
