SUMMARY:Neil Hamburger
DESCRIPTION:"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 Fringe Fest. He has performed countless American
 \, Australian\, British\, Irish\, and Canadian tours\, as well as in Norwa
 y\, New Zealand\, and the Bahamas\, alongside acts ranging from Faith No M
 ore to Robin Williams. His TV credits include Tim and Eric Awesome Show\, 
 Tom Green Live\, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His Live At Third Man album was pr
 oduced by Jack White in Nashville\; an earlier Hamburger effort was includ
 ed in SPIN’s "40 Greatest Comedy Albums Of All Time." The feature movie 
 Entertainment\, a dramatic look at Hamburger on- and off-stage co-starring
  John C. Reilly\, Tye Sheridan\, and Michael Cera\, premiered at the Sunda
 nce and Locarno Film Festivals\, and was released in 2015 to rave reviews.
  His recent Drag City album of lavishly-produced song\, Still Dwelling\, f
 eatured a memorable trio version of Jesus Christ Superstar's "Everything's
  Alright" with Neil singing alongside Mike Patton and Jack Black.\n\n\nPre
 ss quotes:\n\n"A phlegm-filled sack of putrid self-loathing\, Neil Hamburg
 er is the perfect satire of a slick\, professional nightclub comedian. If 
 you've ever suspected that behind the glossy veneer of fake bonhomie of th
 ose perma-smile acts lies an ugly\, embittered\, grotesque soul – well H
 amburger is that demon made flesh. In some living Sisyphean hell\, every n
 ight he dons his tuxedo\, greases down his hair and ploughs through the vi
 le set that disgusts even him\, just so he can earn a three-piece chicken 
 dinner. His contempt for his own pitiful existence is surpassed only for h
 is 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 (U.K.))\n\n"Hamburger is the clapped-out husk of a decorous So
 uthern gentleman\, now coughing in painful hacks\, suppurating filth throu
 gh his tuxedo\, and her to tip a slurry of abuse all over celebrity and mo
 dern life…a combination of malignance and desiccated vaudeville." (The G
 uardian)\n\n"Neil Hamburger remains the greatest comedian I've seen the gr
 eater majority of an audience walk out on….No one was leaving their seat
 s this evening though\, as this peerless performer shocked and delighted i
 n equal measure…On the road for 12 years with scarcely a day off\, Hambu
 rger is a condemned showbiz lag\, doomed to perform his antagonistic anti-
 comedy to potential hostility forever." (The Scotsman)\n\n"A brilliantly a
 wful persona of an old-school\, C-list funnyman—the kind with an ill-fit
 ting tuxedo and an enormous\, greasy combover—on a very bad night. Neil 
 Hamburger toys with an audiences’ expectations (and patience)\, and inde
 ed his act is a kind of rude commentary on stand-up comedy altogether."
