5/4: Doug Stanhope @ Springwater

The Great White Stanhope Returns!
The infamous Doug Stanhope is back in Nashville, doing ONE SHOW ONLY at Springwater on Thursday, May 4 at 9pm with Nashville’s own, The Mattoid. Doug is currently on what he has called his “See Me Before I’m Dead Tour” of dirty little indy rock clubs.
You may remember that Doug (along with Joe Rogan) took over hosting duties at the Man Show for a while.. and then did a Girls Gone Wild dvd.. but don’t let that fool you. If you come to the show expecting him to be chanting ziggy-zaggy-ziggy-zaggy with a pack of idiot frat boys, you’re in trouble.
Doug’s stand-up is generally politically charged and / or drug-fueled. He challenges the audience to question what they’ve been spoon-fed from the media, politicians and religions.. but first and foremost he’s funny. Don’t miss him. He’s one of the comics we’ll still be talking about thirty years from now.. and I can promise you one thing: if you go to his show, chances are you’ll have a story you can tell for the rest of your life (that is, if you’re sober enough to remember any of it).
Advance tickets are available for $10 each (cash only) at Springwater. 50 of these tickets will be sold, and will get you entrance at the back door so you can avoid the line on the night of the show.
