Neil brings to the Art of Bombing podcast a ton of experience - he’s opened for a twelve-year-old catchphrase comic, and he’s been sandwiched between two 90’s era pop bands. These things have made him the to-the-point comic he is today. Neil believes it’s important to have relationships, ask for help, and use humility in our careers, but equally as important is...
