Doug Stanhope has been drunkenly stumbling down the back roads and
dark alleys of stand-up comedy for over a quarter of a century,
roads laden with dank bars, prostitutes, cheap drugs, farm animals,
evil dwarfs, public nudity, menacing third-world police, psychotic
breaks, sex offenders, and some understandable suicides. You know,
just for levity. While other comedians were seeking fame, Stanhope
was seeking immediate gratification, dark spectacle, or sometimes
just his pants. Not to say he hasn't rubbed elbows with fame. He's
crashed its party, snorted its coke, and jumped into its pool
naked, literally and often repeatedly--all while artfully dodging
fame himself. Doug spares no legally permissible detail, and his
stories couldn't be told any other way. They're weird,
uncomfortable, gross, disturbing, and fucking funny. This Is Not
Fame is by no means a story of overcoming a life of excess,
immorality, and reckless buffoonery. It's an outright celebration
of it. For Stanhope, the party goes on.
