Goofs

Works better in American than in Europe.

Artie Lange had issues and he's not afraid to admit that. From alcohol to drug addiction, all that had a toll on his life and body, it's undeniable. That he fought his demons I can only applaud, but I wished he didn't spoke lightly about heroin like it's just another drug you should experience. He's a born entertainer, speaks easily about everything, has a good sense of humour. As an European I had some difficulties to understand all of his jokes as here almost nobody knows about American football players and such, so when he makes jokes about them we have no clue about the person he talks, even lesser about their background. So I think his shows will have a bigger success on American soil. But for the rest it was entertaining. I don't regret watching The Stench of Failure.
