Summary

As his legions of devoted fans (known as 'termites') already know, Doug Stanhope lives in an interesting world, a 'cult legend' who nonetheless commands an audience that is larger than many mainstream stars. That's because Stanhope built his career from the ground up, playing the dive-iest dives and most decrepit out-of-the-way comedy rooms you can imagine for two decades, in the process becoming a populist hero to an equally drunken fan base. 'This Is Not Fame' is the uncensored story of how it happened, full of debauched tales from the low side of the road as related by a master comedic storyteller.
