Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) is a comedian, writer and podcaster with nearly 30 years of performing under his belt. After cutting his teeth on the open mic circuit, Doug moved into MCing a “crappy” hotel gig which gave him the taste of being a “comedian with a point of view”. Since then he’s spent his time building his cult-like following and touring with his brash, honest, loud and often controversial style of comedy.


I got him on to talk about...


-Building his audience from scratch one email at a time (before social media

-Why he started his podcast

-What he hates about clubs and the club circuit in general.

-How and why he puts up boundaries that keep fans as fans and not friends

-Why he wouldn't laugh at his own jokes or act.
