On April 18th, 2011, 19 year-old Kipp Rusty Walker killed himself on stage at an open mic at a coffee shop in Bend, Oregon. He performed a song entitled "Sorry For All The Mess" before repeatedly stabbing himself in the chest with a six inch kinfe. The audience initially applauded, thinking it was just part of the show. That's pretty fucking badass. (DVD insert)

I don't understand what the description has to do with the content. The title matches the content but what does Kipp Rusty Walker have to do with this particular stand up act?

This is 5th Stanhope's special I watch in a span of a month (got hooked after I found him out), so I am probably just getting spoiled and don't appreciate his humor as I would if I had to wait a year or two to hear from him. Hearing him talk about not being that 'I will make the world better guy' anymore was sad. But yea, you can't talk sense into people, that's how it is.

Wow, what a synopsis there. Anyway, this is another great Stanhope performance. Although, as usual, some of his tirades at first seem long-winded, they're at least all very funny and come from a very original point of view.

First exposure to Stanhope. Reminds me of a less dreamy Hicks type with the sobriety of a less inebriated Hedberg. Bitter realism that has a closing hour at a low end strip club feel to it. Comedians are always better when they arrive with a sense of defeat.

AKA Doug Stanhope vs. the most prudish audience in the world. Doug seems slightly dazed, but then again why cast pearls before swine? His rants are angry, drunken and always apposite in their ever surprising disclosure of human hypocrisy. In this show I enjoyed his rants on baby pictures, overpopulation and the economy.

Arguably the weakest of Stanhope's DVD releases, this show contains some more great arguments but not enough laugh-out-loud gags to back them up with. Doug himself seems a little distracted - perhaps too sober, perhaps unimpressed by the lukewarm crowd, perhaps just reflecting his open distaste for his job these days - but having seen him perform a similar set a month later his delivery here definitely looks off. I'd watch it again but I wouldn't use it to showcase the man's talents.

Stanhope on typically acerbic form.
