Deadbeat Hero

Deadbeat Hero

Listening to Doug Stanhopeâ€™s â€œDeadbeat Heroâ€ is a lot like playing a game of â€œWould you ratherâ€¦?â€ with yourself. There are tough questions. You might discover larger truths about your own psyche. Youâ€™ll probably be disgusted. You might put your fingers in your ears and sing â€œla la laaaaa!â€ Because, as he puts it, a Stanhope routineâ€™s a lot like being led into battle: some of you wonâ€™t be here when weâ€™re done. But those of you who are? Youâ€™re the hearty souls, the battle-hardened comedy aficionados not too afraid to ask, â€œWould I rather perform fellatio on another man in order to earn the right to use derogatory terms for gay people or confront a self-satisfied southern law-man as he righteously raids a sex shop?â€ or â€œWould I rather go through life with a conjoined twin head atop my own or go all biblically â€˜eye-for-an-eyeâ€™ with a molester priest?â€ or even â€œWould I rather send my mom in as a suicide bomber to protest the withholding of breakfast sandwiches in the afternoon or stubbornly vote â€˜not guiltyâ€™ on an otherwise unanimous jury just to stick it to the man?â€
In addition to helping listeners probe their minds (and other regions), Stanhope proves heâ€™s in it to win it by including a full DVD of his live performance at Seattleâ€™s Comedy Underground, as well as rare clips of his past hairdos (and stand up routines, but letâ€™s face it, weâ€™re in it for the mullets) and â€œStreet Rantsâ€ with the accompaniment of Banjo Randy. Stand Up! Records is proud - and only slightly chagrined - to present â€œDeadbeat Hero.â€
