Doug Stanhope Performing in Poughkeepsie, NY This Weekend

Comedian Doug Stanhope is set to perform at Laugh It Up Comedy Club on Friday.

Doug Stanhope has been a stand-up comic since 1990, with material that favors caustic and often obscene observations of life in the style of Bill Hicks and Bill Burr, which he delivers while consuming alcohol.

Stanhope is known for his heavy alcohol consumption and is a self-confessed drunk. He describes himself as pro-choice and pro-drug. In an interview with PETA, Stanhope criticized the use of wild animals for entertainment purposes as well as the fur trade.
