It goes without saying the Doug Stanhope is not everyone's cup of tea.
Erica Rhodes performed the opening set. We had seen her special on Netflix so we were expecting a good show - and we got it! Her stories and timing were great. We will be looking for more of her in the future. Doug Stanhope's act was the polar opposite of Erica's, but was also excellent. It seemed as thought he had been caged up the past 18 months and was just set free. His set was fast paced and all over the place, but the crowd had a great time.
Great show all around. Doug had his usual great insight. Easy to get in and to our seats.
Ticket master charged outrageous amount for tickets people around me paid $40-$50. I paid $484.00 for 2 tickets. Couldn’t hear the comedian very well. Just not fun after finding out ticket master is a rip off
Temperature was good in theater, sometimes comedy shows can be warm.
Doug Stanhope did not disappoint! I cry laughed the entire show! He was so good! Can’t wait till he come around again!!!
Doug is perfect. I could say more (a lot more) but that would just sound like a bunch of boot-licking and ego-stroking. I loved the show. I hope I can see him again.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the show but I know Doug well enough to know he was hilarious. After having to postpone the show 5 times it just didn't work out for me. I'll be there next time, I know that.
Two drink minimum is a bit excessive. Especially since I don’t drink soda or alcohol so I’m paying $6 per serving for water that tastes like tap water. Also the seating arrangement is very odd. You have round tables but line your chairs in rows pointing at the stage? I thought one of the rows was a Covid buffer but nope. Packed in on top of each other and had a hard time seeing the stage once all the seats were filled. At least Doug was funny and saved you from a totally bad review. I’d never come back to this place.
Doug Stanhope was great!! My fiancée has been dying to see him and the show did no disappoint. We love this venue too, not too big, just right for this type of show. The only complaint was the shows general admission seating...it was a sold out show and while everyone found their way eventually...it’s distracting watching the latecomers wander around looking for a seat while the show is going on, not to mention the lineup in the cold so you could ensure you could sit next to the person you came with...I don’t think seat assignments are that difficult and they have been done at this venue before...food for thought.
My only minor complaint would be that I prefer to have a reserve seat.
Doug Standhope was awesome! Waitstaff was terrific! Fast, courteous and skilled get through a packed house. Venue was very good. Just wish the put a little more room between tables.Drinks were good.
Took my boyfriend to see this. Doug is one of his favorite comedian next to George Carlin. He really enjoyed the show and couldn’t stop talking about it. The show was amazing.
Stanhope used lingo from 30-50 years ago, which was not relatable to me - he swore alot and was fixated on the King of Thailand - seems like he has alot of loyal followers, but I was not one of them - and the venue was disappointing - you couldn't move around once seated - would not recommend this show to my friends
THE best comedian we have currently. What a fantastic, raw, and real performance. Refreshingly honest. Doug rules.
This was a fantastic show. I didn't even sit down.
Definitely will go back to the Neptune for another show
Stanhope brought his A game a comedian for people who like comedy and believe there should be no rules in comedy.
Walking into the venue, Doug stopped to share a smoke with us... he one of those guys that’s real!!!!
With it being the first time seeing Doug Stanhope live, he didn't disappoint. With all the material I've heard him use over the years, I was curious if he had anything new. Again, he didn't disappoint. My girlfriend and I had a great time and will definitely see him again if or when he comes back into town.
