Neil Rubenstein
Who Neil Rubenstein is
Neil Rubenstein is a stand-up comedian, a burly, tattooed comic whose act plays against type as kind and cerebral. He has toured with Chelcie Lynn (Trailer Trash Tammy), Ashley Gavin and the rock band Motion City Soundtrack, opens for friends such as Liz Miele, Taking Back Sunday and Bayside, and has been on podcasts including Jim & Sam and Kill Tony.
He won World Series of Comedy satellite contests in Pittsburgh and Boston in 2018, Wichita in 2019 and Louisville in 2023, and headlined the Laugh Out Loveland Comedy Fest in 2023 and the Badgerland and Coullion comedy festivals in 2025. His debut special, Have Some Dignity, came out on Equal Vision Records in March 2024, and his track This Is The Tile Track was played on SiriusXM's Raw Comedy channel in March 2025.
