Doug Stanhope, known for his brutally honest commentary and sharp-tongued humor, will be touring throughout the United States this summer beginning August 7, 2012 in Chattanooga, TN.

In an attempt to recapture some of the magic of the open road, Stanhope will set out with two comedian chums in a van for an intense period of gigging.

Joining him for the Southeast leg are buddies Carlos Valencia and Junior Stopka, Brett Erickson and Geoff Tate will join Stanhope for the Midwest dates.  More dates will be announced soon.

Stanhope digitally released “Before Turning The Gun On Himself” on March 6, 2012 and it immediately shot to #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Amazon comedy charts.  Recorded in Salt Lake City, UT at The Complex, the live companion CD/DVD will be out November 6, 2012.
