As the comedy scene in Northern Ireland continues to build from strength to strength, Neil believes this shift in the industry is 'brilliant' for all the new talent trying to break through.
Irish funnyman Neil Delamere is getting ready to return to Belfast to take on the SSE Arena once again after his sold-out gig earlier this year.
"It's a really weird feeling but I'm looking forward to that again and oddly, it's a better gig than it should be in some ways. It should be echoy and stuff bouncing off walls here, there and everywhere - it feels strangely intimate." "We went to The Champion's League final and the crowd was teargassed. So we will certainly be talking about that at some point - I was trying to explain to the French police that trying to teargas a man who has grown up in the 70s in Belfast might not necessarily have the effect that you would think it would have," Neil joked.Neil's name has been cemented into the Northern Irish comedy scene through him time on The Blame Game.
"Because he is so skilled and so well respected, he can lean into it - he doesn't get offended because he knows. Rather than him getting upset, he started to laugh that we were taking the piss out of him." "Years ago, if you were a comedian and you wanted to get people to come see you, there were certain gatekeepers," he explained. "You had to find someone in radio or TV in a suit who would say they liked it or didn't and even if you were there for a period of time, they might decide it only gets a short run.
