Neil Hamburger / Major Entertainer [Big Room-Upstairs]

“America’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger has worked every imaginable stage, from New York’s Madison Square Garden, to a show in a gorilla cage in an abandoned Catskills zoo. He has performed countless American, Australian, British, Irish, and Canadian tours, as well as in Norway, New Zealand, and the Bahamas, alongside acts ranging from Faith No More to Robin Williams. Neil Hamburger was the subject of the 2015 movie Entertainment, co-starring John C. Reilly and Michael Cera.  His Live At Third Man album was produced by Jack White in Nashville; an earlier Hamburger effort, Laugh Out Lord, was included in SPIN’s “40 Greatest Comedy Albums Of All Time.”  The latest album on Drag City Records, Neil Hamburger presents Seasonal Depression Suite, is a full-blown musical concept album that portrays Hamburger’s inner turmoil while locked down in a chain motel, with guest appearances from Neil Finn, Bonnie Prince Billy, Puddles Pity Party, Annabella Lwin, and others.
