As his legions of devoted fans (known as "termites") already know,
Doug Stanhope lives in an interesting world, a "cult legend" who
nonetheless commands an audience that is larger than many
mainstream stars. That's because Stanhope built his career from the
ground up, playing the dive-iest dives and most decrepit
out-of-the-way comedy rooms you can imagine for two decades, in the
process becoming a populist hero to an equally drunken fan base.
This Is Not Fame is the uncensored story of how it happened, full
of debauched tales from the low side of the road as related by a
master comedic storyteller. In his relentless pursuit of non-fame,
Stanhope has done it all, including having to hide out in Alaska
from a raging state senator who was searching every bar to kick his
ass for remarks made about him on the radio; scouring the frozen
streets of Korea trying to procure a prostitute for a certain
Fellow Comedian; taking a job doing gay phone sex just for the
story (and showing up on mushrooms); being booked for a private
backyard party and finding out it's for children; having Johnny
Depp call and tell him he thinks he's a legend, not knowing he's
standing in the rain in a Days Inn parking lot about to play a
sports bar to a crowd of 65 people; pretending to be Johnny Rotten
for an incompetent interviewer just so he'll stop calling; agreeing
to do a stand-up gig--sober and unpaid--for the country of
Iceland's worst criminals; filming his own vasectomy to boost
ticket sales ahead of a tour; appearing on The Jerry Springer Show
posing as a traveling salesman whose wife is leaving him for a
lesbian stripper . . . and so much more (and so much worse). This
book is exactly what Stanhope's fans have been waiting for:
Stanhope unleashed, holding nothing back no matter how
embarrassing, immoral, sordid, or compromising it may be.
