About this listen
An unfiltered, unapologetic, hilarious, and sometimes obscene assemblage of tales from the down-and-dirty traveling comedy circuit
Doug Stanhope has been drunkenly stumbling down the back roads and dark alleys of stand-up comedy for over a quarter of a century, roads laden with dank bars, prostitutes, cheap drugs, farm animals, evil dwarfs, public nudity, menacing third-world police, psychotic breaks, sex offenders, and some understandable suicides. You know, just for levity.
While other comedians were seeking fame, Stanhope was seeking immediate gratification, dark spectacle, or sometimes just his pants. Not to say he hasn't rubbed elbows with fame. He's crashed its party, snorted its coke, and jumped into its pool naked, literally and often repeatedly - all while artfully dodging fame himself.
Doug spares no legally permissible detail, and his stories couldn't be told any other way. They're weird, uncomfortable, gross, disturbing, and fucking funny.
This Is Not Fame is by no means a story of overcoming a life of excess, immorality, and reckless buffoonery. It's an outright celebration of it. For Stanhope, the party goes on.

you really need to check reviews before you buy?
It's Stanhope. Of course it's a 5/5. Buy the damn book. Who else are you going to read about? Sober people?

Awesome story!
if you want to live vicariously through a derelict, leisure suit wearing drunk comedian, this guy and his friends have a hell of a story to tell. Made me feel better about myself on many levels.

Damn
I genuinely wish I could give myself brain damage so I can forget the entirety of what I just listened to.
Only to have the joy of getting to listen to it again. God damn, it was good. Do yourself a favour and buy this shit right now.

Great stories
Great stories read by the amazing Chad Shank (and occasionally Doug Stanhope). It’s actually relaxing to listen to. Like old friends telling stories at the campfire.

It's Doug Stanhope.
This is a Doug Stanhope audiobook. You probably already know if you want it or not. If you don't know who Doug is, check out his podcast first before purchasing.
