We are thrilled to announce that Doug Stanhope has agreed to do an hour set at the Saturday Evening Banquet. Be advised, he isn't for the faint of heart but we think he's a great fit for our "demographic".

With all do respect son, my 2nd grade teacher was Mr. D. He was as gay as an Easter Basket.Comment -
with all due respect, son, if you can remember your 2nd grade teacher's name then he must have made quite an impact on you. sorry to disappoint Deuce but i'm neither he nor gay. that being said, i'll gladly buy you a few beers at the BashComment -
No impact, I remember calling him gay and getting sent to the office. Oh well. I will be looking forward to the beers.Originally posted by Mr. DComment -
That guy is actually pretty funny, saw a few of his routines on You Tube.Comment -
No f'n way. Doug is about as good as it gets for comics. Wow - that's a score and a half IMO. I hope he does the 'f the yankees' bit. Classic.Comment -
Doug Stanhope is a legendComment -
that is a solid comedian. he is fu*kin hilarious.Comment -
SBR's company policy has always focused on quality in all aspects, from the top down. As previously discussed, this Bash is to reward and also to thank our loyal Posters. We've put plenty of thought and effort (may thanks to JenBird for her invaluable assistance) into making this a first-rate event and expect that everyone who attends will have a memorable time.Comment -
Awesome...another great addition to the Bash. Well done SBR.

How about Neil Young? Did we get him?Comment -
Wow! That is huge. I have seen him 2 times in LA. The guy is hilarious and will be a great fit for the bash! Good Job!המוסד

sorry, boss, his people ended negotiations when they discovered the Golden Nugget didn't have any 8-track players in their AV department for him to borrow. the real deal-breaker was our failure to provide his glaucoma medication.Originally posted by SBR_JohnComment -

Deuce you are a douche. This guy is funny as hell.Originally posted by Deuce
Props to SBR for getting him.

I was just tossing it out there. Never heard his stand up. Just see him every once in a while making broads take their tops off.Originally posted by ImmortalityDeuce you are a douche. This guy is funny as hell.

nice cant wait for the bashComment -
i was actually kind of hoping we'd get this one knocked out before we started planning the next one? safe to table this discussion until Aug 24th or so? i do seem to recall way back in the conceptual stage of this thing that somebody was insistent on getting a comedian......unfortunately Larry the Cable Guy wasn't availableOriginally posted by SBR_John

Awesome, I am really looking forward to it.Comment -
Maybe try for Artie Lange next year, he's a gambler himself!
Imagine if he posted a video here saying hi see you at the bash....Comment -
Me and Artie could hang. Except for the heroine.Comment -
Have JJ do stand up.Comment -
No ****ing way, Stanhope is the man. We go back to the Bisbee days. I'll be seeing him in Houston soon, I'll let him know I will be at the bash.Comment -
sweeeeeetComment -
Neil Young? That's a "NO NO"!Comment -
Artie Lange makes Richkas look like a sober living advisor.Comment -

Artie must be a REALLY bad gambler, he quoted us an insane price that could only have been a.) heroin induced, or b.) a shot at getting "un-barreled-in".Comment -

That's cool that you at least inquired about it. I wonder if he'd have plugged it on the air on Stern's show.Comment -
we actually approached 6 or so pretty heavy-hitters and got quotes. Doug wasn't the least expensive but he seemed like the best fit. Artie apparently thinks that Artie is the funniest guy on the planetComment -
Wasn't Don Rickles or Shecky Green available?
Why no Don Rickles or Shecky Green???just kidding,don't want to hear hockey pucks and Borscht belt Catskill stuff with a guy doing rim shots.hehe!Wow,SBR is going all out with big name entertainment even.Comment -
Artie Lange sells out venues for $60 a head. He's not playing the Golden Nugget for a bunch of math geeks and small-time degens.Originally posted by crazylComment -
Oh man, I love Rickles. Saw a home video some while back, good 12 years or more, of Rickles and his wife on vacation in Italy with Bob Newhart and his wife. They're apparently big pals. You talk about some funny sh¡t.Originally posted by BrentCrude
God bless funny sh¡t
Comment -
Rickles is great, another is George Carlin although his last few gigs on HBO have been missing something. I think Stanhope sounds like the right choice, I don't think his ego or demands are in the same ballpark as some of the aforementioned guys. And his stuff is funny.Comment -
