Comedian Doug Stanhope leaves the crowd in stitches pt 5 - 5

In 1967, Doug Stanhope was born in Worcester, Massachusetts where he lived until he was 18 years old. Stanhope's comedy career began in 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Stanhope has made appearances at several major comedy festivals, including the Montreal Just For Laughs, US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, the Chicago Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, where he won the Strathmore Press Award in 2002.

Stanhope was the winner of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition where he edged out notable comedic actor Dane Cook in a three-week contest. He's appeared in dozens of national and international standup comedy television specials. He claims that his appearance on the BBC television show, "Live Floor Show," (broadcast March 20 2003) was fueled by "ecstasy". According to Stanhope 'TV is just for the money; live performance is where its at.'

In 2004, Stanhope endorsed the Free State Project, and is quoted as saying:
...the Free State Project stands out as one of few ideas that could produce tangible change in our lifetime. The vision of Christian gun enthusiasts buying hand-painted targets from pot-smoking artists, laughing together while they give the tax man the finger, is beautiful enough to make the move.[1]

Pure genius. Like Hicks and Carlin I never get tired of hearing his material.

You made a young aspiring comic´s day.

[PainAddict666]

Stanhope to the rescue. Wow, such an intellectual powerhouse. Seriously the reincarnation of Hicks.

@Jack95912 fuck you with your holier than thou bullshit..... who the fuck do you think you are? fuck your principle and your fucking ethic go and shove your dogmas up your Hippocratic ass.... no offense :D

I only want to smoke cigarettes when I drink and watch Doug Stanhope videos

I miss Hicks, Stanhope is a genius in his own right...too many of our real comic geniuses are lost to us..I never compare, or do a "versus" thing, cause I love 'em all.. I still miss Lenny Bruce from back the middle 60's, " I'm 56 BTW, I used to check out his comedy albums "33 & 1/3, when I was only 10 or 11 at the library, and turn the sound down low so my parents couldn't hear..He kinda started the risque stuff, but even he wasn't the pioneer, Stanhope is fearless & funny...

@BartelDoo

You only have one life. Rocking it is a lot harder when you are under tyranny.

I am all for getting down to earth and living for the moment, but there is a difference between living for the moment and just giving up on principle.

If you have no principle or ethic at all, if there is no line you won't people cross, then you aren't rocking life...you just pussed out on life and someone else has made you their bitch.

@brodybro2 Only a true fan gets that joke. hahaahaha.

doug stanhope chokes retards with his balls

[BartelDoo]

He's so right. I used to be obsessed with conspiracy theories the likes of Alex Jones and others. I was SO fucking angry. "How can they DO this??" I would constantly ask myself. And then I realized..."hey, this is MY trip...I'm not going to allow scumbags to dictate how I feel 24 hours a day. I'm going to rock this lifetime and get the fuck OUT of the matrix (false reality). All the cul-de-sacs can kiss my ass, the false exits too. I'm out.
