The Waiting Room Lounge

Doug Stanhope

TICKETS: $15 ADV / $18 DOS

When Doug Stanhope first performed stand-up comedy in Las Vegas in 1990, all he was hoping to accomplish was free beer and maybe the attention of chicks who wouldn’t otherwise talk to him. Regardless of his successes, his ambitions remain mostly the same. Stanhope has been described as a free-thinking nihilist, a vulgar miseriblist, a self-indulgent, drunken washout and a deviant, misanthropic Charles Kuralt. His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. He’s also a bit of a boozehound.
