Neil Rubenstein is a burly, tattooed guy who plays against type; kind, cerebral, but still casually mentions past illegal activities (running a poker room, owning a brothel, etc.) the way one might reference a Renaissance Lit course you took in college. Neil has won or placed in a list of comedy contests as long as my arm.

Neil is a sought-after feature act by manynational headliners because he shows up, is ver funny, & doesn’t mind driving. When Neil isn’t featuring, he’s headlining and making the crowd love him.
