Neil Hamburger's comedy is as pleasurable as puking
What can a bitter, washed-up funnyman tell us about contemporary showbiz? Gregg Turkington weighs in.
Do you feel better after barfing? Then Neil Hamburger's acerbic humour may be for you.
Comedian Gregg Turkington joins guest host Rachel Giese to talk about his hideous stand-up comic character Neil Hamburger and what a bitter, washed-up funnyman says about contemporary showbiz.
While many find the comedy cringe-worthy, or deeply offensive, others have approached Turkington with tears and gratitude. He figures that, for some, grim humour is a relief.
"I liken it to the feeling you get after throwing up a bad meal."
