Neil Thornton - Ursus Americanus

New Zealand Comedy Festival Show A One Night Stand Neil Thornton - Ursus Americanus "If Neil can't make you laugh it's your fault." - Urzila Carlzon "Funny on so many levels." - Vaughan King How to describe Neil Thornton? Gay Bear. American Expat. Aging Slacker. Watch him tackle the irony of homophobia, the humiliation of childhood, and the uncharted territory of man-on-man marriage. His comedy is by turns intellectual, bawdy, angry, and insightful--occasionally poignant--but most of all funny. Neil Thornton is a comedian and writer from New York City, currently living and performing in Wellington, New Zealand. He's a regular in Wellington comedy clubs and has shows all over New Zealand. In the United States, Neil performed in clubs and theaters in New York City, Washington D.C., Provincetown, Fire Island, and the Poconos. He was the producer of New York's first all-bear comedy revue, "Funny. Furry. Fierce." which sold out three years in a row. He also hosted a popular weekly show, "Stand-Up @ RockBar." www.neilthornton.com Friday, 16 May, 2014 10:00pm Kitty O'Shea's Irish Bar 28 Courtenay Place, Te Aro, Wellington Tickets Here: http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/2014/a-one-night-stand2/wellington
