Doug Stanhope: Oslo - Burning the Bridge to Nowhere 2011 (6.2)

Recorded in an abandoned factory in the Grünerløkka suburb of Oslo, Norway, this performance is as spontaneous and unhinged as anything Stanhope has ever done. Originally a sewing machine factory converted to a German WWII bunker, the setting for Oslo is anything but conventional. Whereas most comedy specials are filmed on an elaborate stage, Stanhope and Nikon Norway filled a dilapidated industrial space with lights and folding chairs, ultimately allowing the material be the focus of this release.

The Unbookables 2012 (6.6)

The Unbookables is a narrative documentary about stand-up comics who have spent their careers pushing limits--on stage and off. Relegated to small venues and touring in a crappy van through the Midwest they careen between the desire to succeed and the reality that there may be nothing left to lose. Road life is far from glamorous: comics come and go and cruel pranks and hard drinking punctuate their obsidian dark comedy on stage. They succeed and fail-spectacularly. When they face being fired for going too far on stage, the conflict culminates in a showdown: compromise or double down?

Doug Stanhope: The Dying of a Last Breed 2020 (6.4)

Filmed Memorial Day weekend in 2019 at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas (the city where he first performed stand-up comedy) Doug Stanhope goes through a dark wealth of material, uniting topics as disparate as child fatalities, hotel chain misery, and all the things you can do in Indiana.
