it was like that the last time I saw him, expect it to be the same this Saturday. The show was also bedevilled by "hecklers" calling out for their favourite bits all the time: their favourite bits suggested they were only there to hear something shocking, rather than something thought-provoking which is what Doug rules at.
 
Just got back from tonight's show. It was really good, some of the best stand up I've seen for ages. It took him a while to get into it though (or the booze to kick in).

Yep! tonight was some woman behind us shouting 'midgets!' constantly. TBH I think she may have put off other potential hecklers . Doug dealt with her very well though :D
 
The thing with comedy as oposed to music is you want to hear new stuff, because the old stuff isn't funny as you have already heard it. I asked someone if they wanted to come and see Doug and he said, Oh no I've not heard his jokes I dont want to come. People are fucking strange. Its not like seeing a band where you want to have heard the songs so you know them.
 
gotta love his myspace "about me"

I am a comic, a drunk and lover of losers. Losers have the best stories and all the empathy.

I am old and soft in the middle. Touch my belly. Go ahead, touch it. Squishy like summer dog shit.

The road is my home. Unless I'm at home, where my home is my home and the road is the road. But when I'm on the road, my home is your home unless I'm at the hotel and it's late. Then it's best if you just go home. Or whatever.

If I've tried adding you and you don't know me, it's because I think you'll get what I do. Most people don't but I've seen what is popular in this country and I'd have to second-guess myself if I were part of it. I don't know why I added you. Maybe it's because you're a drunk, a freak, bi-polar, angry, disillusioned with it all, funny, irrational, impressionable, burdened or simply hot. Who doesn't like hot?

Whatever it was, I ain't trying to bang you. I have enough problems. I have hooker money and my life is still a shambles.

Find my stuff on YouTube. Steal my stuff off the internet wherever you can and don't apologize. Buy the CDs and DVDs from my site and feel free to burn em and share em.

Then come to the show.

I loved his 3 parter on youtube with clips from his stand-up show in Edinburgh.

"They don't speak the language, they don't speak the language"

:)
 
I've heard he's playing in Bath, will probably go to the one there with a mate of mine who digs him and says he's ace live. Pretty funny guy IMO, seen videos where he handles some good heckling wankers etc, like at Big Chill (lol.....)
 
He seems to have added a few nights at the Leicester Sq Theatre to this tour. I just got tickets for Friday 1st April
 
Went to see him in Manchester on the 23rd. Really funny, even when he lost his train of thought and failed to deliver anything remotely humorous it was still fascinating to see him think on his feet and get things going again. Some really good new material mixed in with some classics, had the whole place roaring for most of the night. Great stuff.
 
If there's tickets left I shall book a couple at the weekend. The theatre is a dingy shitehole, suits him down to the ground.
