SPOTLIGHT

By Holly O’Mahony

Thriving on a life of excess

When we spoke to Doug, he was in Canada for the first leg of his 2018 tour, awaiting his UK visa. “I had to apply for my UK visa through some express service. I’ve been given a number to call but I can’t get through to anyone. It’s full-on Kafka sh*t,” he says, in his signature satirical, fed-upwith-the-system fashion.

Doug has been a comedian for decades and is known for his risqué humour. Many would be quick to call out some of his former sketches as anti-semitic or homophobic – particularly by today’s standards. Has he felt the need to adapt his work to suit the tastes of a more PC society?

“I’ve changed small things, like I don’t say faggot anymore. But I haven’t changed on account of anyone else.”

I asked Doug if there are any taboos he considers to be off-limits for his comedy. “No, absolutely not! I cover the topics that interest me. Even your cleanest comics, when they’re sitting around in the green room, the humour is always at the darkest possible and I don’t get why it’s often kept in the green room. For me, that’s the stuff I bring on stage.”

I push a bit further, is there really nothing, though? “I wouldn’t make fun of the King of Thailand when I was in Thailand, because it’s illegal and you go to Thai prison for it. So let’s just

D

oug Stanhope, the outspoken and controversial comedian from Arizona, is bringing his taboo-ridden show to Brixton’s O2 Academy as part of his UK tour. He’s worked with the likes of Charlie Brooker and is friends with Johnny Depp – who wrote the forward to one of his books. There’s barely a wince-worthy topic Doug hasn’t touched in his comedy: suicide bombing, rape, paedophillia – you name it.

His humour isn’t for everyone, but it would be hard not to see the sheer brilliance in some of his lengthy, eloquent anti-establishment rants. The Weekender caught up with Doug ahead of his upcoming gig.

say anything that will get me thrown into a Thai prison I would not do. That is, until I get out of Thailand…”

Doug’s latest book This Is Not Fame: A “From What I Re-Memoir” came out in December last year. It’s described as a story of overcoming a life of excess, immorality, and reckless buffoonery – a description which Doug laughs at when I quiz him on it. “The way you say overcoming makes it sound like I don’t do any of those things anymore – thriving on a life of excess would be more accurate. It’s basically a lot of road stories with a vague throughline.”

This Is Not Fame isn’t Doug’s first book. In 2016, the comedian released a book Digging Up Mother, A Love Story, about his mother’s suicide as an elderly woman, which Doug – who was very close to his mother – was present for. The forward for the book was written by Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, who in recent years

has struck up a friendship with Doug.

“He was a fan initially,” Doug explains. “He called me up and told me I was great and you don’t argue with that.”

Doug was briefly swept up into the high-profile and tumultuous break-up between Johnny and his ex-wife Amber Heard, who threatened to file a lawsuit against the comedian for saying “defamatory” things about her and claiming she was blackmailing Johnny. “She tried to sue me in my own hometown over no case whatsoever,” says Doug. If she’d gone through with it, it would have been hilarious – I would have got sh*t loads of material out of it.”

During the time of the 2016 presidential campaign, Doug joked on stage that things would be more interesting if Donald Trump won, but does the comic still feel that way a year and a half into his presidency?

“Was I wrong? If anything, I think I’ve been proven right! Things are

certainly more interesting with him in power. We might have to suffer for four years, but it also might disrupt everything for the better.” I remind Doug that Trump is due to come to the UK this summer. “Yeah?

Well I bet he’ll have a much easier time with his passport than I’ve had.”

Since he began working as a comedian in 1990, Doug’s acts have often involved him coming on stage with a drink or cigarette (or both) in hand. “I still booze on stage. I don’t think I hit the stage with less than four or five drinks in me,” he says.

“However, I don’t smoke on stage anymore. When I’d smoke on stage and other people couldn’t, I could feel a shift as soon as I’d light up a cigarette. Non smokers are bummed out because you’re smoking and smokers are bummed because you’re smoking and they can’t.”

If you’ve booked a ticket to Doug’s Brixton gig but are unfamiliar with his work, don’t expect any gushy

comments about how happy he is to be here. Doug is vocal about his dislike of the UK, and in Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (2013) he makes a hilarious plea to us Brits to understand America and all its benefits. So how does he feel about returning to our shores for this leg of his tour? “I have the same sense of dread I always have before going [to the UK]. I don’t like the old sh*t. It’s mossy, ugly and cold even when it’s meant to be warm,” he says.

Finally, what can we expect from his upcoming gig? “The only goal I have is to talk a lot of sh*t about the King of Thailand,” he says. “If you’re coming because you like what I do, you’ll get your money’s worth.”

Doug Stanhope will be playing the O2 Brixton Academy, 211 Stockwell Road, Brixton, London, SW9 9SL, on June 7 at 7:00pm. Admission: £46.25, ages 15+.

A load of Malarkey Actor shows his musical side at new London Bridge venue

V

ampire Diaries TV star turned emoindie musician Michael Malarkey is playing at the Omeara as part of his European tour.

Raised in America, but a long time London resident, Michael is playing at the new Flat Iron Square venue on June 15. Besides working on multiple acting projects in the past few months – such as TV series The Oath with 50 Cent, and Blue Book on The History Channel – Michael has also been working on an album.

“I actually was a musician before I started acting,” said Michael. “It’s not really a jump to music then, since I have been doing it all along. I only started going public with my songs a few years ago.”

Before his acting and music career, Michael worked in a record store in Ohio for six years. Since this was an era prior to the rise of

6 June 2018

internet chat rooms solely dedicated to swapping music recommendations and finding new artists, his job was to discover new, up-and-coming music before it became popular.

“It was actually called Dingleberry’s Record Store, you can look it up,” joked Michael. “I wrote a lot of music there after hours. You know, lock the doors, write some lyrics. My friends would sometimes come by – we’d smoke cigarettes, maybe drink a little whiskey, and work on our songs.”

Michael’s band at the time was part of the hardcore scene, but his most recent album is better described as indie-folk. “I find it difficult to pinpoint genres, especially when it’s your own music,” Michael said. “I guess you could say my work is more of an emo-indie thing: something moody, but masculine, with

an element of storytelling. Or ‘music for husbands,’ as I like to call it.”

His most recent single Captain Solitaire has elements of electronic bass. Michael also foreshadowed that his music in the future would be moving away from the singersongwriter vibe. Instead, he has been experimenting with tracks featuring drum and bass, brighter sounds, and more danceable beats.

“Even though I don’t have a Mohawk anymore, my heart has a Mohawk,” quipped Michael. He said that he still handwrites all of his lyrics: a homage to the DIY spirit and the unique personality found in old punk records.

Michael Malarkey will be playing at Omeara, 6 O’Meara Street, SE1 1TE, on Friday 15 June at 7pm.

Tickets: £17.50. www.omearalondon.com

Theatre

A romp that bodes well

‘A

s You Like it’, the first production under Michelle Terry’s watch as artistic director, is a highly theatrical romp and bodes well, considering the competence and versatility of the ensemble, for the rest of the season.

Very ably directed by Frederay Holmes and Elle While and, on a stage completely devoid of scenery, we were transported from Duke Senior’s court to the forest of Arden, visually distinguishable only by the quick-change, reversible costumes of the cast. The only other visual aids were a red rope manipulated by the characters to mount a wrestling match between Orlando and Charles, early in the first act, and the voluminous skirt of the goddess Hymen, hiding Rosalind and Celia and falling away as she rises into the heavens at the beginning of the ending.

It was slick, funny and had some brilliant theatrical moments, for example, the sheep driven in by Sylvius and Phoebe and Jacques’ shocked cry as he suddenly noticed the “circle of fools” surrounding him.

Gender fluidity, already present in the play, was raised to new heights with Rosalind being played by a man (Jack Laskey) who then dressed up as a man and Orlando being played by a woman. Sign language featured very largely as Celia was played by Nadia Nadarajah and this translation worked very well and often added to the humour and pathos, due to Nadia’s highly animated performance Helen Schlesinger, as the two Dukes (amongst other parts) was striking, commanding the stage with

rage of good humour as the role required. Richard Katz (Rosalind) was particularly good but all the principles acquitted themselves well.

Special mention must go to the ‘clowns’, however. Pearce Quigley as Jacques was dapper in his black velvet suit and delightfully lugubrious.

www.weekender.co.uk

Starting the iconic “All the world’s a stage“ speech with a mouthful of banana was inspired and led the audience into the famous set piece with delight.

Colin Hurley as Touchstone looked wonderful and sounded better and his scenes with Audrey (James

Garnon), also perfectly costumed, well-timed and the crowd loved them.

The music added useful clues to the action and supported the lyrical voice of Tanika Yearwood and, as always at The Globe, led us into the final happy dance which sent us all out, laughing, cheering and clapping.

An excellent start!

As You Like It is on at Shakespeare’s Globe until August 26. Times: Between 12pm and 7.30pm.

Admission: £5 - £47.

techniques, so you can be assured your loved one is being cared for by a trusted professional.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? Our caregivers We are very selective about who joins our team. When hiring caregivers we always ask ourselves, would we send this person to look after our own mum

All our caregivers receive industry leading training and an on-going programme of professional development.

Our visits We always look to send the same caregiver/ caregivers for each client’s visit, so both parties (friends and

family included) can start to build a meaningful relationship.

Our home visits are a minimum of one hour, because our experience has shown that quality homecare cannot be delivered in less time.

Both of these are especially important when looking after people with dementia, who cannot be rushed and who need to see familiar face if
