- Synopsis:
U.S. Comedian Doug Stanhope can be both vitriolic and vulgar, but it's his honesty and frankness that most obviously set him apart from his peers: there's nothing so personal that Stanhope won't share it with his audience to hilarious effect. Characteristically pulling no punches in this incendiary hour-long performance, a drink and nicotine-fueled Stanhope displays scant respect for any personal, political, moral or sexual boundaries, and clearly delights in pushing the buttons that make his audience squirm as well as laugh. Serving up everything from graphic perversion to coruscating social criticism - and on both fronts giving the very foundations of American values a brutal kicking - Deadbeat Hero is guaranteed to shock, enlighten, and entertain, as Doug Stanhope explores subjects that most other comedians wouldn't touch even if their lives depended on it. As Doug himself says "My act is like animal porn...it's not for everyone!" - Actors:
