Doug Stanhope is the GOAT.
His recent special is so well shot. Probably one of my favorite comedy specials tbh. I've always liked his way of telling stories. I especially liked the story about Ichabod, his dog that got to live out his last days in practically dog heaven, it's chapter is called "Perfectly cooked bacon".
What I like about Stanhope the most, is the way he can get you to laugh at an edgy/dark joke, but he immediately follows it up with a thrust of either social/political commentary, or asks so you to think about why you laughed at that. Throughout his career he doesn’t punch down, bits like the ‘transvestite hooker incident’ are on face problematic, but he’s never judging them or thinks he’s better than other people who are often seen as lesser by society.
I was a bit surprised to see him on Lemmy.
I miss the socialist Dale Earnhardt memes that were going strong for a little while.
