Doug Stanhope - Oslo: Burning the Bridge to Nowhere (2011)


"Oslo: Burning The Bridge To Nowhere is the seventh stand-up comedy album and fourth stand-up comedy DVD by Americancomedian Doug Stanhope, released on May 3, 2011 by Roadrunner Records. The CD/DVD was recorded in Norway at a former sewing machine factory and Nazi World War II bunker in the Oslo borough ofGrünerløkka on September 18, 2009." - Wikipedia

"For anyone still interested, Oslo manages to be a revolutionary album before a single joke is said. Recorded in front of an audience for whom English is a non-native tongue, in a hastily converted warehouse turned stage, and with a scant thirty six hour notice; Oslo is the closest a recorded performance comes to capturing the feel of being in an actual comedy club." - The Laugh Button

"He’s not for everyone, and this certainly isn’t the one to start with, but Stanhope taunting an audience in their second language is as fascinating in execution as it is in idea." - Allmusic
