While stonerdom is central to Doug Benson's act, it doesn't define him. This 47-year-old standup is well-respected among peers, as evidenced by the marquee names who have dropped by his popular "Doug Loves Movies" podcast. Last year he even snagged his own short-lived Comedy Central show, "The Benson Interruption." Benson's act is what you'd except from a 20-year alt-comedy vet: sharp, comfortable and effortlessly funny. He's also Twitter-savvy, shooting us this tweet when baited: "Acme is a great underground comedy club. And not underground as in unknown, underground as in under the ground. Hope to see ya down there!"
