Pick of the Day: Neil Hamburger (in NYC) 11/15
November 8, 2023
News
bell house, major entertainer, neil hamburger, nyc comedy

The one and only Neil Hamburger, the self-styled America’s Funnyman is back with as much hair gel and cocktails he can muster, but it’s not just in LA over this next month.

That’s right, Hamburger is hitting the road for a handful of dates that will very precisely amount to 3930 miles of road traveled. Hence, the name of the tour is The 3930 Mile Tour.

Hamburger will be zinging his dark one liners about musicians and the like along with his touring partner Major Entertainer, someone almost as mysterious and absurd as Neil himself from Ireland to the East Coast of the U.S. including a stop at Brooklyn’s Bell House on Wed. 11/15 at 7:30PM. In short, you’re not going to want to miss what will likely be somewhere around mile 3500 of the tour.

Tickets are up for grabs at $30.57 and you best go get ’em here.

Pick of the Day: Valley Vegas w/Neil Hamburger & Major Entertainer (near LA) 6/3
June 1, 2023
News
los angeles comedy, major entertainer, mark proksch, neil hamburger, the valley

For years and years and years, Neil Hamburger has had a premier LA comedy gathering under the banner of his name, usually somewhere in the hip epicenters of LA’s Eastside. Hamburger was at the beloved space The Satellite (that’s no longer with us), then at Zebulon, then, most recently, at Permanent Records Roadhouse.

Needless to say, the rest of the Greater LA Area hasn’t necessarily had much of a chance to not venture out/commute to one of the America’s Funnyman’s shows. However, this weekend, those unfortunate folks stuck in the Valley are not only getting a chance to catch Neil Hamburger, but Major Entertainer as played by everyone’s favorite Energy Vampire from What We Do in the Shadows, Mark Proksch.

Both Neil and Major Entertainer are doing a very special evening called Valley Vegas at the Corbin Bowl out in Tarzana that, to be honest, might be a perfect vibe for the alternate universe lounge act that is Neil Hamburger.

Doors are 8PM. Tickets are only $12 and you best go get them here right now.

Pick of the Day: The Neil Hamburger Event (in LA) 9/26
August 13, 2021

la comedy, neil hamburger, zebulon

We can remember the last Neil Hamburger and Special Guests that we went to so vividly. It was the end of 2019 and we were at the then-still-alive Satellite in Silverlake and so many of us didn’t know or didn’t want to admit what was coming, so we were just gathering indoors without thinking there was anything really wrong.

Thus, we got to enjoy one of LA’s longest standing residencies by a comedian, Neil Hamburger, trash various musicians while coughing hoarsely and holding way too many rocks glasses as we have gotten to do for years and years and years.

The Satellite LA is no more and, because of COVID-19, there hasn’t been a top-billed Neil Hamburger show in so many, many months. However, that’s changing as The Neil Hamburger Event is set to take over Zebulon come Sun. Sept. 26th at 8PM PT. You really ought to snag your tickets now (and hopefully nothing has to get rescheduled because of the Delta variant). They’re $14.76 and you can get ’em here.

Neil Hamburger, America’s favorite lounge act character that mostly roasts music, is going really big this month. There will be a bigger line-up than his usual residency has slated (that will probably get bigger than this flyer), but all of this will be done in service of Australian Wildfire Relief.

As you can see, this night of true variety will be dazzling, hysterical, and, of course, go to a great cause. 

Go get your tickets here (they’ll probably sell out fast)!

Many of the most decorated and celebrated performers of the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival will gather under the wondrous roof of the Lyric Hyperion for one hell of a night of internationally award winning comedy, Stamptown Comedy Night, of clowning, characters, stand-up, and so much more. 

Just look and marvel at that line-up up there in the poster. Zach Zucker will even be presiding over the evening as his clown-inspired ideation of a stand-up, Jack Tucker. 

So, don’t miss out on Stamptown Comedy Night, happening Fri. Oct. 11th at 10PM. Tickets are $15 and you can (and very much should) get them here.

Besides it being Neil Hamburger and the fact that it’s a very, very, very, very stacked line-up (perhaps almost worthy of a gala?), next Sunday will mark 11 years of Neil’s residency (the longest solo residency in the comedy scene that we can think of) at The Satellite in Silverlake.

If you need more reason to go, then just trust that we’re telling you to go because it’s worth it.

Get your tickets here quick as we have a feeling that it might sell out.

Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero just got married and as recently wed comedians, they opted to make their honeymoon into a comedy tour, aptly called The Honeymoon Tour, and give relationship advice to various audience members that they were willing to talk out their problems on stage. 

The advice they gave was captured by Comedy Central and put into this really great web series that captured much of the best advice they dished out, the lovely vistas they had, and even some comically, overly gratuitous PDA. 

They even had America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger renew their vows. Please watch and enjoy all eight episodes here.

Gregg Turkington, The Man Behind Neil Hamburger, Tells The Origin Story of Neil Hamburger
November 3, 2015
Uncategorized
gregg turkington, interview, neil hamburger, thr

As Entertainment is coming out, Gregg has decided, for the first time, to give the low down on his most notable character, Neil Hamburger.

For years, Gregg Turkington and Neil Hamburger were the same person, just in and out of character, but mention of each other by either one was virtually non-existent. Hamburger wouldn’t do interviews and Gregg really never talking about playing Neil and making a name for Neil.

Since he’s doing promotion on a movie centered on that character, he feels the need to answer any and all questions about Neil with full transparency regarding origins, intentions, death threats etc.

He answers a lot of those questions in this nterview with THR’s Seth Abramovitch.
