Neil Hamburger - the anti-comic alter ego of Gregg Turkington - has announced a string of Victorian and Sydney shows on his Australian return.
The American-Australian comic is returning to Australia in July for shows in Melbourne, Ballarat and Sydney, bringing his sardonic, dishevelled shtick with him for a run of four shows across Melbourne, Sydney and Ballarat.
Hamburger has worked everywhere from New York’s Madison Square Garden, to a show in pitch black darkness at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest. He played the Big Day Out in 2000 and 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.

His TV credits include Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Tom Green Live, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His Live At Third Man album was produced by Jack White in Nashville and 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 Sundance and Locarno Film Festivals, and was released in 2015 to rave reviews.
His recent Drag City album of lavishly-produced song, Still Dwelling, featured a memorable trio version of Jesus Christ Superstar’s ‘Everything’s Alright’ with Neil singing alongside Mike Patton and Jack Black.
