 Relentlessly and unspeakably middle class, Neil has
given up claiming in his act that he comes from
Glasgow
because he actually comes from Bearsden, which is a posh suburb of that city
and therefore doesn't count. He has a reasonable day job, comes from a very
secure and stable background with a good education and a high standard of
living, and his parents are both still alive and happily married - all of which,
from the perspective of artistic integrity and creative angst, are matters of
intense irritation to him.
Neil reached the Scottish semi-final of the BBC New
Comedy Awards in 2001, so technically that means he's been on the telly (for the
7 people who had BBC THREE at the time). If you really want to stretch the
point, he's also been on 15 to 1 twice, and has the dubious honour of being the
only contestant in the show's history to have been told off by William G.
Stewart for slouching. He has never had a review, and yet he suspects he is
under surveillance...
Neil is available for support or compère work and has
had all his jabs. Allow him to gently divert you from the horrific truth of your
own existential plight, and to occasionally use the word 'seepage'.
