Comedy review: Doug Stanhope, Glasgow

Twenty-five years a stand-up, little throws Doug Stanhope. Post-warm-up gig in Edinburgh on Thursday night, he helped talk a man out of committing suicide.

Doug Stanhope profile

It's just an ordinary weekend at the Arizona compound of America's most abrasive stand-up. But who is the man behind the foul-mouthed rants?

Rarely Asked Questions - Doug Stanhope

The first time I encountered Doug Stanhope he was in bed in his Edinburgh Fringe flat. I think he may have been tattooing himself at the time.

Chris Dangerfield on Dapper Laughs: victim of jealousy?

"Look, I don't give a shit about the bullshit personal private greedy agendas of these liberal f***s who draw arbitrary lines to serve their own agendas - and that's what they've done. That's why they're not talking about Russell Brand, Doug Stanhope, Bill Burr. But Dapper Laughs - some working class shitbag from nowhere who has said a couple of pretty unfunny things - he's a target. He hasn't said anything anywhere near as 'bad' as any of that other lot. I don't care what they say, myself. I love it. But, if you look at the criteria these people have used when talking about Dapper Laughs, then these people - Brand, Stanhope, Burr - are far 'worse'. It's all bullshit."

Richard Coughlan: drugs, Doug Stanhope & death threats

"At the risk," said Richard, "of sounding like a bitter and twisted old bastard about not being famous, if I can get someone to kill me, then people will think: Oh, he must have been brilliant. Let's look at all his old shit on the internet."

Brendon Burns: Outside the Box

Come late January-February 2015 I've decided to follow in the footsteps of Doug Stanhope and Neil Hamburger and peel off from the comedy club circuit.
