International Headliner: Neil Hamburger (US)

US comedy legend Neil Hamburger is gracing our stage at Tokyo Comedy Bar! This man is a must-see and will be supported by the incredible wizardry of Magical Simone - professional magician extraordinaire! Come down for a touch of Vegas hotel thrills in Shibuya!

“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 was included in SPIN’s “40 Greatest Comedy Albums Of All Time.” 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.

“Hamburger is the clapped-out husk of a decorous Southern gentleman, now coughing in painful hacks, suppurating filth through his tuxedo, and her to tip a slurry of abuse all over celebrity and modern life…a combination of malignance and desiccated vaudeville.” (The Guardian)

Magical Simone came into magic with a vision of bringing the styles and sounds of the 1960s into her show. She's performed across the US and around the world and is a regular performer at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.
