Doug Stanhope

You might know comedian Doug Stanhope as Eddie from Louis CK’s show Louie. His real standup isn’t too far from that character — he basically likes to stand around and get drunk and talk. He also gets pretty graphic about some of the stories he tells, but it’s pretty damn funny. Like the one time a crackhead transvestite hooker let herself into his car. Yeah, we’ll just leave it at that. His humor ranges from brutally honest observations on society to diatribes about why he hates kids and why being religious is worse than being on drugs. He’s offensive and crude but hilariously so. He performs tonight at 7 at Hilarities.
