    pure genius

    a very funny teller of harsh truths

    many people compare him to bill hicks but doug it so much better as unlike hicks there is no god delusion. hicks in his stand up often spoke about there being a god stanhope is intelligent enough to know this god fella don't exist. oh and if you dont like jet black gallows humour stay away from this dvd

    Heir to Hicks?

    not quite up to the standard of the great man (who is?) but a very funny routine encompassing similar themes and proccupations: freedom, censorship, sex, drink and drugs. The production values aren't that high but as the comedian says himself the club this is shot in is a 'basement fire hazard' so the monochromatic, grainy quality is perhaps inkeeping. Much of the time you don't know whether to laugh or gasp; make no mistake if you are easily offended this is not for you, on the other hand if you like your comedy angry, outrageous and challenging then this is definately for you
