America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger is the hardest working comedian in existence,
performing up to 399 shows a year internationally to critical acclaim and
audience bewilderment. He has toured as the hand-picked opener for Tenacious D,
Tim & Eric, and Faith No More, appeared on TV shows ranging from Tim and Eric
Awesome Show Great Job! to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and worked extensively with Tom
Green on his internet talk show. Among his dozen or so albums and DVDs is the
new LP release Hot February Night. RECENT PRESS: “A phlegm-filled sack of putrid
self-loathing, Neil Hamburger is the perfect satire of a slick, professional
nightclub comedian. If you’ve ever suspected that behind the glossy veneer of
fake bonhomie of those perma-smile acts lies an ugly, embittered, grotesque soul
— well Hamburger is that demon made flesh. In some living Sisyphean hell, every
night he dons his tuxedo, greases down his hair and ploughs through the vile set
that disgusts even him, just so he can earn a threepiece chicken dinner. His
contempt for his own pitiful existence is surpassed only for his contempt for
the audience who compel him trudge through his despicable cavalcade of jokes.
And my, these gags are certainly not for the faint of heart, as he plumbs the
depths of depravity for the sake of a laugh.” — Chortle (UK) “Hamburger is the
clapped-out husk of a decorous Southern gentleman, now coughing in painful
hacks, suppurating filth through his tuxedo, and her to tip a slurry of abuse
all over celebrity and modern life…a combination of malignance and desiccated
vaudeville.” — The Guardian (UK) “Neil Hamburger remains the greatest comedian
I’ve seen the greater majority of an audience walk out on.... No one was leaving
their seats this evening though, as this peerless performer shocked and
delighted in equal measure.... On the road for 12 years with scarcely a day off,
Hamburger is a condemned showbiz lag, doomed to perform his antagonistic
anti-comedy to potential hostility forever.” — The Scotsman (UK) “A brilliantly
awful persona of an old-school, C-list funnyman — the kind with an ill-fitting
tuxedo and an enormous, greasy combover — on a very bad night. Neil Hamburger
toys with an audience’s expectations (and patience), and indeed his act is a
kind of rude commentary on stand-up comedy altogether.” — New York Times
