What a better way to bring in the ‘bleak” possibility of a Happy New Year than “American’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger! Neil headlines a “Vegas” style showcase of comedy, music, magic and more to help you try and forget the horrible year that was 2025 and to look forward to more misery in 2026! “America’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger has worked every imaginable stage, from New York’s Madison Square Garden, to a cruise ship in the Bahamas, to a show in a gorilla cage in an abandoned Catskills zoo. He has shared the bill with musical acts ranging from Faith No More to Micky Dolenz, and with such comedic legends as Robin Williams and Eric Idle. Harrowing festival appearances include the Reading Festival in the UK, Coachella in the USA, and The Big Day Out across Australia as the invited guest of Frenzal Rhomb. Neil kicked off 2025 with a short tour with long-time friend and collaborator Tim Heidecker Music provided by Umlaut (featuring Bär & Danny from Mr Bungle) who have just released their new album “Desöle”. Magic By Simone comes all the way from Los Angeles and is a regular performer at The Magic Castle in Hollywood and appeared recently on Penn & Tellar’s “Fool Us”! Opening is Melbourne based, American born, singer/ songwriter Franklin’s Mint. Recently returned from shows in the USA and often finds special guests wandering on stage to perform with him. Emcee is Australia’s “premier” parlor magician/ social commentator, Dr El Suavo, who will be joined on piano by Daniel Tucceri.
