No Encore for the Donkey
Description :
Misanthrope. Iconoclast. Apostate. Drunk. Many words have been
used to describe Doug Stanhope, but rarely has
“hoeful”been one of them. However, heading into
2016, Stanhope peered through the apocalyptic fog and saw a
forecast that was more rainbows than acid rain: His first book was
set for release, his new stand-up special was in the can, and he was
about to film a television pilot with his friend and confidant Johnny
Depp. The sharks of Hollywood were circling, and
Stanhope’spockets were filled with chum. The only thing that
could stop Doug was himself, and that’sexactly what he
did.First came the booze, then came the pills, then came the
stripper, and then, Doug came. A tryst aboard a cruise ship leaves
him literally and figuratively adrift when his scorned wife, Bingo,
reveals she is in love with another man: a jug-sippin’ guitarpickin’hobo.
A simple, black-out fling turns out to be a
pebble tossed into the lake of you-know-what named 2016, and in
No Encore for the Donkey, Stanhope traces the resulting
rings.Written and performed by Stanhope, his third memoir follows
the veteran comedian on a quest to save his marriage, his wife, and
eventually his wife’slife. Our hero's journey finds Stanhope
cuddling with Johnny Depp in his Los Angeles mansion, receiving
some much-needed TLC from Marilyn Manson, and - most daunting -
building a new hour of comedy in the rusted-out hellscapes of postindustrial
America.Equal parts love letter, road romp, and harrowing
condemnation of the failures of America’smental health care
system, No Encore for the Donkey is a hilarious and heartbreaking
account of a man balancing on the edge of damnation. With Bingo in
a coma and Trump about to be elected, Stanhope sifts through the
ruins of his own personal cataclysm in order to answer the big
questions: What does it mean to love someone when you
can’tlove yourself? What is the point of success if you have
no one to share it with? And is the end of the world BYOB?- Sam
