Neil Hamburger is a stand up comedian, for lack of a better description. In truth, Neil Hamburger is a character played by Gregg Turkington whose other projects include the bands faxed head, Zip Code Rapists, and Three Doctors Band. Gregg was also co-owner of now defunct Amarillo Records , and he cowrote the book Warm Voices Rearranged: Anagram Record Reviews with Brandan Kearney.
Neil Hamburger's schtick is that he is the worst stand up comedian ever. His jokes range from variations of "Why did the chicken cross the road?" to Diana, Princess of Wales jokes to Michael Jackson jokes. His pacing is off, and he clears his throat nonstop through his entire routine, which is all part of the ultimate goal: to be the world's "worst" stand-up comedian. Neil's unique brand of comedy has thrilled, perplexed and repulsed audiences from the New York University Thompson Center to Jimmy Kimmel himself.
