Doug Stanhope

Doug Stanhope Sunday 4th October 2015, 8.00pm Tyne Theatre & Opera House welcomes the return of Doug Stanhope to our stage the October. His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. Doug is vulgar, opinionated, brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited and is certainly not for everybody. He started his career in Las Vegas doing jack-off jokes for free drinks. Not much has changed, save for the mullet. Doug has built a wide-ranging television resume of dubious achievement. He hosted The Man Show on Comedy Central as well as the ubiquitous pseudo-porn for the sexually crippled, "Girls Gone Wild", both solely and shamelessly for financial gain. He has appeared on "The Howard Stern Show", "Comedy Central Presents", "Premium Blend", NBC's "Late Friday", "Spy TV" BBC's "Floor Show Live" while on ecstasy and wrote, produced and starred in Fox's "Invasion of the Hidden Cameras" and has even popped up on "Fox News with Greta Van Sustern" and "The Jerry Springer Show".  In 2010, he was the Voice of America on the BBC’s  “Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe”. None of it compares to seeing him live; Doug is a two-time winner of Time Out New York’s “Best Comedy Performance of the Year”. He’s appeared at multiple major comedy festivals including Montreal Just For Laughs, Aspen US Comedy Arts, Chicago Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Scotland, where he won the Strathmore Press Award for Best Act of the Fringe in his debut year. Selected by both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter as one of the Top Ten Comics To Watch, Doug has released four CDs and three DVDs including "No Refunds" on Showtime in 2008. Reveiws: “Much of what’s wrong with the world melts away in Stanhope’s flame... comedy with brains and guts and a heart...”   — Guardian “...the most fearless man in comedy”   — Esquire “…an acidic blend of prickly hostility, elaborately articulated self-loathing and righteous anger”   — New York Times “...visionary douchebag....”   — The Times of London “Sharp, off color, and howlingly funny”   — San Francisco Chronicle “If there’s such a thing as being too honest in comedy, Doug Stanhope may come close...Stanhope has elevated himself to become one of today’s most talked-about artists.” — Timeout Chicago Tickets go on sale Thursday 25th June 2015 Tickets:  £30 (plus booking fees when booking online and over the phone) The Tyne Theatre & Opera House Box Office is open 10am-3:30pm Monday to Friday and event days Booking and Information Line: 0844 2491 000 (10am – 6pm Monday to Friday) More information at our Website: www.tynetheatreandoperahouse.uk Facebook: Facebook.com/tynetheatreandoperahouse | Twitter: twitter.com/tyneoperahouse Theatre Address: 109 – 119 Westgate Road, Newcastle, NE1 4AG
