AMG Review of Sicko

All Music Guide

Vulgar comedian Doug Stanhope's debut for Nebraskan label -ismist Recordings features 15 skits that center mostly on perversity. Occasionally, such as during "Ecstasy," he ventures into drug territory, but he still manages to integrate some sort of sexual humor for the punch line. His humor isn't easy to stomach, and will surely offend many, but if you enjoy rude and exploitative sex jokes coming from a penis-orientated male point of view, this should make you laugh.
