Comix Presents: Theater Shows
Doug Stanhope (Sat 5/11 at 8 p.m.)
· Doug Stanhope's tenth and latest album, “Before Turning the Gun on Himself,” offers a potent double dose of the abrasive and brutally honest brand of standup comedy that’s established him as a one-of-a-kind phenomenon. Those same confrontational rants have led to his live show being named “Best Stand-Up Show” of the year by Time Out New York twice, and he’s been compared to such fearless comic revolutionaries as Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks.
· Tickets are $25, $35 and $45 in advance
