Neil Hamburger, the comic creation of U.S. actor/writer Gregg Turkington (On Cinema; Ant-Man; Fremont) returns to the UK for another round of what The Guardian called “a combination of malignance and desiccated vaudeville”.

“America’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger has worked every imaginable stage, from New York’s Madison Square Garden, to a show in pitch black darkness at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

He has performed countless American, Australian, British, Irish, and Canadian tours, as well as in Norway, New Zealand, and the Bahamas, along-side acts ranging from Faith No More to Robin Williams.

His TV credits include: Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Tom Green Live, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His Live At Third Man album was produced by Jack White in Nashville; an earlier Hamburger effort was included in SPIN’s “40 Greatest Comedy Albums Of All Time.”

The feature movie Entertainment, a dramatic look at Hamburger on- and off-stage co-star-ring John C. Reilly, Tye Sheridan, and Michael Cera, premiered at the Sundance and Locarno Film Festivals, and was released in 2015 to rave reviews.

His recent Drag City album of lavishly-produced songs, Still Dwelling, featured a memorable trio version of Jesus Christ Superstar’s “Everything’s Alright” with Neil singing alongside Mike Patton and Jack Black.

“This peerless performer shocked and delighted in equal measure.”
