Colo(u)r me jealous. I would love to see him in a small venue. Saw Doug Stanhope perform in a 1800 sq ft dive bar once. That was pretty amazing, but uncomfortably crowded. I'm going to email him and bug him about coming back to SD. If you listen to the 08-16-2010 podcast he reads my letter for advice about 5:00 minutes into it. That was so awesome to hear his advice.

You got to see him live, he's a powerhouse on stage. Total command of everything. Did a 75 minute set. Like he promised on the podcast he gave out the Let It Go dvds for free. In a way I'm glad he wasn't playing a bigger place - at 400 people it was intimate enough to resemble a comedy club. We were also treated to an extended bit on the gold-digging whores :

ME TOO! Minus the London bit. I missed him when he came to San Diego...stupid girlfriend's family reunion >:

In reply to this comment by Deano:
Definitely! I listen to the podcast, got the DVDs and saw him at the London show last Sunday :

At least we can all know his name.

Kevin Cosgrove.

And Doug Cherry.

I have lived in the USA since 1986. I am not up on current events in Sweden. I know that policies change quickly there since they are such a small and very politically active population.

Is that a real statistic? Seems to me that maybe half the population are immigrants or descendants of immigrants if you go back a couple of generations.

@swedishfriend How's it going in Sweden trying to get the descendants of immigrants to perform at comparable levels to Swedes in school performance? Do you predict the achievement gap closes before the year 2100?

Thanks!

Lovely, spot on as usual. Fuck you Nick Griffin and the BNP.

Anyone trying to pass ironic judgement while smoking is probably in the wrong field of work.

Ridiculous, it's the absolute correct line of work... it's where the understanding of vice's, hypocritical and mixed with sarcasm = comedy.
What would you prefer? Jerry Seinfeld boring comedy... "Hey, what's up with airline peanuts, those packets are impossible to open?"

I disagree, there are plenty of ways of adding nuance to a performance. Smoking is simply ... killing yourself.

Hello my friend. Just wanted to wish you well and hope life and sifting is treating you properly. And while I just came to say that I feel we might be kindred spirits in the way this life racks our person, I noticed you seem to be a fan of the Stanhope, so I offer this little jewel.

There will be more children in the US this year with bankrupt parents than divorced parents. With around 120,000 people declared bankrupt each month, many of the squeezed middle-class see the American dream slipping away.

"Our national myth is changing", explains author and journalist Thomas Hartmann. Whereas hard work was once seen as the route to prosperity in the US, nowadays the best most people can hope for is a lottery win. Three generations of farmers in Vermont ring the changes of the past fifty years. Doug Lyford remembers that his parents never argued about money: "There were five of us and we all went to college. No farmer could afford that any more". Disenchanted with the mainstream politicians, who have not done enough to help them, many are turning to the traditionalist Tea Party. For others, such as bicycle shop manager Anthony Laskaris, hard times are only to be expected: "this is the effect of globalisation: our living standards go down a little, so that others' can rise".

Stole Doug Stanhope's joke.
