Before Turning the Gun on Himself

One of the most caustically hilarious comedians still standing, Doug Stanhope is a prince of hilarious darkness in this new standup special that finds him musing on the link between Keynesian economic theory and prostitution, how Alcoholics Anonymous is like a cult, and his opinion (hint: not favorable) of a popular television rehabilitation therapist. It's a dangerous tour de force of scathingly funny wit and savage social commentary that's not for the easily offended.

Stanhope digitally released Before Turning The Gun On Himself on March 6, 2012 and it immediately shot to #1 on the Billboard and other comedy charts. Recorded in Salt Lake City, UT at The Complex, the live companion CD/DVD is now available.
