	thrustCHAT: NEIL HAMBURGER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		NEIL HAMBURGER: Well if you were planning on it being a complete disaster, then yes it has been going as planned.
		NEIL HAMBURGER: Yes, you have to look your best because people are paying good money that they've earned, although a lot of them tend to be independently wealthy, not everyone has to work these days, a lot of them are on trust funds.
		NEIL HAMBURGER: Well I was arrested once for telling some off-colour jokes, but they dropped the charges when the police chief himself laughed his head off at some of these gags.

	LCD 20 \| Laughs, Love and Life with Neil Hamburger
		Neil shows he knows which side of the bread the butter's on.
		Neil: I'd say the smaller crowds are generally easier, because they can't make as much noise and try to drown you out during your routine.
		Neil: You know, that album was taken from a handful of shows during a winter tour last year, and though it is very representative of my routine last year, I think the people that produced it must've used some of the more depressing segments purposely, because I get asked that question a lot.

	Neil Hamburger
		Neil's an ersatz tenth-rate comedian character created by Greg Turkington, and the concept is simple: Neil sucks.
		In the Neil Hamburger context, that means sudden, almost tourettes-like outbursts of gratuitous profanity, puerile dirty jokes and wanton, tasteless attempts to be edgy.
		The beauty of Neil Hamburger is that he really thinks his material is funny; to him, the audience inexplicably fails to get his hysterical jokes.

	Boston.com / A&E / Calendar / Still a character, Hamburger relishes role
		Hamburger, who comes to Great Scott in Allston tomorrow with the band Pleaseeasaur, is the invention of Gregg Turkington, former head of the indie rock label Amarillo Records.
		Hamburger's latest CD, ''Great Moments at Di Presa's Pizza House With TV Comic Neil Hamburger," is odd even by the standard of his previous releases.
		Hamburger says the album was commissioned by Di Presa's to mark its 40th anniversary last year, but the place closed down before they could have the celebration.

		Neil Hamburger is a comedian, but to call him that belittles him as well as the work he creates.
		It is meant to be a smooth transition between subject matter, but it seldom is. Neil Hamburger turns this device into a train wreck, and the beneficiary is the audience.
		By turning the focus of the performance back on itself, Hamburger is deconstructing his own method before our avid eyes, and represents what may happen in the future, by helping us destroy the past.

	The Oberlin Review Online
		Neil Hamburger, the revered stand-up comedian and recording artist for Drag City records will be performing Sunday at the Cat in the Cream at 8 p.m.
		Hamburger began his career as a recording artist with Amarillo records, releasing two hilarious singles, Looking for Laughs and Bartender the Laugh’s on Me, in 1994 and 1995, respectively.
		Hamburger is a veteran of the comedic circuit for over 15 years, however, and has likely seen enough rotten tomatoes that even the most ruthlessly humorless won’t challenge his poise and wit.

	Neil Hamburger - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		Despite his appalling comic timing, muddled delivery, and cliched material, stand-up Neil Hamburger nevertheless emerged as one of the most acclaimed and name-checked comedians of his generation; like Lenny Bruce before him, he was a hipster icon whose trailblazing riffs defied conventions at every turn, transcending the confines of hilarity with kamikaze recklessness.
		Hamburger's solo debut, the Looking for Laughs EP, followed a year later, and after issuing Bartender, the Laugh's on Me on the tiny Planet Pimp label, he moved to Drag City for his 1996 full-length debut, appropriately titled America's Funnyman.
		Hamburger remains the iron horse of comedy, touring non-stop, releasing new albums like 2000's Inside Neil Hamburger, and, one hopes, continuing work on his long-planned religious comedy LP, Laugh Out Lord.

	Prindle Record Reviews - Neil Hamburger
		Neil is a great character, more hateful yet endearing than anything that Saturday Night Live has come up with in the past decade and a half - unless, of course, he's a real guy, in which case, he's a repulsive throwback to the bad comedy of yesteryear.
		Hamburger anyway (according to Turkington, Hamburger on a recent Australia tour had to resort to pretending he was wheelchair-bound to stop the rowdy spectators from throwing bottles at him), but part of the fun of his CDs are hearing the audience get belligerent towards him (and vice-versa).
		Hamburger before his concert, he expressed great joy at the fact that he was finally hitting the "big time," moving on from his usual pizza parlor gigs to such top-of-mind venues as the Phoenix Greyhound Park.

	Hour.ca - Stage - Laughlines: Neil Hamburger
		Neil Hamburger, self-proclaimed "America's Funnyman," continues to bring his pained stand-up act to the masses despite sporadic threats and general indifference.
		Hamburger, who may or may not be indie record mogul Greg Turkington, is the closest thing we have these days to Andy Kauffman (in his obnoxious Tony Clifton alter ego mode, though more on the nebbish side).
		Neil Hamburger will be at Mavericks on Rideau Street, Saturday October 1, at 8 p.m.

	Seattlest: Hamburger Busts The Funnies
		This Friday, "America's Funnyman" Neil Hamburger will turn the Funhouse into the Funnyhouse (sorry, but we had to say it before he did).
		Hamburger is a fictional character brilliantly played by a guy named Gregg Turkington, bringing to mind fellow comic genius Andy Kaufman and his alter-ego Tony Clifton.
		Hamburger's seemingly one-dimensional comedy is actually a wicked, multi-level satire of the tired genre.

	Metroactive Stage \| Neil Hamburger
		Neil's parents were from Hungary, and they changed their name to "Hamburger" because they thought it sounded Yankee.
		Neil heard you could get a buzz off of it, and it'd be safe if you filtered it through a loaf of Weber's Bread.
		It turns out that the Neil Hamburger who appears at the Blank Club Friday is unrelated to this Neil Hamburger, even though they both apparently spent time in the troubled-children program down in L.A.'s South Bay.

		Neil's fans didn't let the offbeat locations keep them from seeing their fave funnyman, and the room was filled to capacity for the first performance at Spaceland.
		The show ran late, and by the time Neil stepped onto the stage from the small door leading back to the beer garden, there were at least a hundred people who had that "make me laugh, goddamit" look on their faces.
		Neil Hamburger slipped out the door before anyone realized he was gone, and we all returned to our workaday lives, each one a little changed from having spent some special time in the company of America's Funnyman, Neeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiillllll Haaaaaammmmmmmburger!

		Thus ends a typical night with Neil Hamburger, a sweaty, depressive, goggle-eyeglasses-wearing, comb-over-sporting nebbish in a fl tuxedo whose brand of humor is a calculatedly impossible-to-acquire taste.
		Hamburger’s brand of humor wouldn’t fly at your average Giggles or Laugh Shack, but in a rock room in Allston on a Saturday night, he’s appropriately inappropriate.
		Hamburger’s recordings are vastly different from his live performances, which could play in the lounge of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet as a warm-up for Isabella Rossellini’s beset crooner.

	Vertigo » In The Field - Neil Hamburger
		Self proclaimed “America’s Number One Funnyman” was back in Sydney for the upteenth time last week to deliver another dose of his so-bad-it’s-good comedy to an audience of converts and the glaringly uninitiated, judging by many of the totally nonplussed/offended/angered members of the crowd.
		I loved every minute of it, Neil was in top form, spilling drinks, breaking glasses, hacking and coughing and throwing out sweets as rewards to members of the crowd he felt a bond with.
		Neil was (un)ably supported by the worst magician ever seen, El Suavo, and the night was MC’d by the irrepressable Jay Katz of Sounds Of Seduction and FBi’s Naked City fame, who showed some amazingly crazed filmclips from bygone eras to warm up the crowd.

		Hamburger is what some call a "cult hero," meaning that his biggest fans don't just buy his albums -- they preach about him, post on his online bulletin boards (ostensibly organized by a very dedicated fan with bad spelling named Boni Jergen) and organized a convention last year called Neil Con to celebrate him.
		Hamburger is a relentless tourer -- he claimed to have played 399 gigs last year -- and it's entirely believable when he says that people walk out on him more frequently than not.
		Neil Hamburger performs two shows at the two-year anniversary of the Hemlock Tavern’s “Club Chuckles” series.

		And if the deadpan sketch-comedians behind Neil Hamburger want their quixotic hero to be taken solely as a joke, they don’t deserve that.
		Unlike Moody, Neil Hamburger is not a real person struggling to entertain — he’s a bad-comedy pastiche, a creation of smug, overstimulated indie-rock scensters.
		Hamburger is a creation, and his creators may simply not have the talent to make him look as silly as they want him to.
