Doug Stanhope is a stand-up comic and has been since 1990. His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. Doug is vulgar opinionated brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited and is certainly not for everybody.He started his career in Las Vegas doing jokes for free drinks. Not much has changed save for the mullet. Recorded in an abandoned factory in the Grnerlkka suburb of Oslo Norway the 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.

Live stand-up performance from comedian Doug Stanhope, recorded in a disused factory in Oslo, Norway. Stanhope, known for his misanthropic delivery and willingness to engage with taboo subjects that for some render him offensive, here takes on a tough comedic challenge: performing in front of an audience who don't speak English as a first language and outwith a traditional comedy venue. The result is a recording very much in tune with the abrasiveness of Stanhope's act, with an improvised feel that perhaps comes closer to the live comedy club experience than the gloss of a more conventional stand-up recording.
