SUMMARY:Neil Hamburger at The Milwaukee Comedy Festival!
DESCRIPTION:“America’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger: Grand Return to Stage Tour! \n\n\n\nThe one and only Neil Hamburger\, “America’s Funnyman” comes to Milwaukee for his Grand Return to Stage Tour as part of the 2021 Milwaukee Comedy Festival along with ‘Major Entertainer’ Mike H and Sasha Rosser (Madison\, WI)! \n\n\n\nTickets are only $20 – this show will sell out!Proof of Vaccination OR a Negative Covid Test required to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Neil Hamburger… \n\n\n\nFor over 20 years\, ‘America’s Funnyman’ Neil Hamburger has worked every imaginable stage\, from New York’s Madison Square Garden and the UK’s Reading Festival\, to a Hollywood cemetery\, Tasmanian pubs\, and an abandoned monkey cage in a decrepit Catskills zoo. \n\n\n\nHe has performed countless headlining American\, Australian\, British\, and Canadian tours\, as well as shows in Norway\, New Zealand\, Ireland\, and the Bahamas. He has toured internationally as the cherry-picked opening act for Tenacious D and Faith No More. Neil Hamburger was the subject of the critically acclaimed dramatic 2015 feature film Entertainment\, co-starring John C. Reilly\, Tye Sheridan\, and Michael Cera. Neil’s many TV credits include Tim and Eric Awesome Show\, Tom Green Live\,and Jimmy Kimmel Live. \n\n\n\nAmong his dozen album releases is Live at Third Man\, produced by Jack White in Nashville; an earlier Hamburger effort was included in SPIN’s ‘40 Greatest Comedy Albums of All Time’. His latest LP\, the chamber-pop epic Still Dwelling\, features guest appearances from Jack Black and Mike Patton. \n\n\n\n“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 \n\n\n\nCovid-19 UPDATE (in effect as of 9/17/21):The Milwaukee Comedy Festival will require Proof of Vaccination OR a Negative Covid Test to attend our shows in 2021.
