This Is Not Fame is an unapologetic, hilarious, and sometimes obscene assemblage of tales from the down-and-dirty traveling comedy circuit.

Doug Stanhope shares his 25 years of drunkenly stumbling down back roads and dark alleys of stand-up comedy, filled with dank bars, prostitutes, cheap drugs, farm animals, evil dwarfs, public nudity, menacing third-world police, psychotic breaks, sex offenders, and some understandable suicides.

This book is not for the faint of heart as it spares no detail in its celebration of excess, immorality, and reckless buffoonery.

Get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even question your own life choices after reading this unfiltered account of one man's journey through the dark side of comedy.
