The State Theatre

Doug Stanhope's brand of humor is brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited. "What he has in abundance is the charm, don't give-a-damn swagger and aggressive intelligence that make for important, exciting comedy." (Guardian UK)

 

Performing since 1990, Stanhope is a veteran in the stand-up circuit. Known for his biting commentary, over the past two decades he has travelled extensive internationally, as well as appeared on shows such as Comedy Central's The Man Show, NBC's Late Friday and The Howard Stern Show. On May 12th, Stanhope brings his biting commentary to the State Theatre stage. And in the words of the Austin Chronicle "If you're easily offended, stay home...Watch Matlock or something. But if you like your comedy rough, raw, and rowdy, there's no one better than Doug Stanhope."
