The structure of this show was a bit ramshackle. Doug walked out onstage unannounced to *open* for his opening act. After a while, the actual opener walked up and drunkenly rambled to the crowd for about 15 minutes. He may be a funny guy generally, but he was TOO far gone to perform well that night. And I cannot recall his name.
Then out came Doug, full of alcohol, Adderall and a brand new hour of material. He covered Go Fund Me for dead kids' parents, suicide, murder and a host of other topics which keep him out of the mainstream. He was highly coherent at this show, and it's probably the 2nd best show I've seen him do.
He had to deal with 2 people taking cell phone photos (a bad idea at Doug's shows) plus a couple disruptive audience members. Sadly there was no merchandise for sale at this show, so we didn't get a chance to greet Doug or buy his stuff. Maybe next time. Below my ticket stub is one poor photo I managed to get at the show.
