[NEohioPAL]Doug Stanhope Tomorrow Night!

[Mike Baker]

Beachland Ballroom - 9:00 PM  


Doug Stanhope is a powerhouse of raw, primal energy that cuts directly to the heart of a topic with unparalleled intelligence and wit. Brutal, cantankerous, vulgar; he is uniquely able to go to the dark places with bludgeoning honesty and still come out the other side as an incredibly likeable and funny guy. 

As "Chortle UK" puts it: "Ask anyone whose opinion matters, and they'll tell you Doug Stanhope is one of the top ten stand-ups in the world today. Stanhope's confrontational stance comes from the rough, blistered underbelly of America's trailer parks; he's a feral, aggressive man full fuelled by primal urges to drink, fight and screw and the corrosive material has all the venomous aggression you might expect from that background. But what underlines it, and makes it so untouchably good, is the passion and conviction with which he holds his intelligent beliefs, informed by sensibilities that might seem alien to such a no-nonsense, pig-headed persona." 

Doug is leading the rebellion against the stale, predictable comedy that dominates the market with his promotion of like minded cohorts, "The Unbookables" and even a run for the Presidency in 2008. This is a must see show for comedy fans who appreciate the real deal. Opening will be a member of the Unbookables, Andy Andrist whose latest CD "Dumb It Down For The Masses" is a great example of this rougher, no-holds-barred style of comedy. 

Also appearing are Cleveland's own practitioners of the uncomfortable funny, The Hearts of Darkness, Mike Baker and Jeff Blanchard. 

This show is sponsored by Cleveland Yucks Ltd. and H.O.D. Productions. Check out an interview with Andy Andrist at the Podcast "F You Marconi" at www.fyoumarconi.com.
