Almost 10 years to the day after his award-winning double-act Hitchcock’s Half hour performed their first open spot, Neil started solo stand-up in February 2007, and since then has MC’d music events at the Royal Albert Hall, landed the job as support act for Russell Brand’s 2007 UK tour, as well as playing over 100 gigs around the country.
With sketch group Pros From Dover, he has written and filmed an action-comedy series, spoofing TV show ’24’ for Warner Music’s internet comedy portal,
Comedybox. He plays the Jack Bauer character. There are several stand-alone sketches on there too HERE.
There are plenty other examples of his work, comedy, presenting and otherwise, here: The Neil Cole Show
