Neil had a fab 2010, touring the UK as Stan Laurel in Buxton Opera House & Philip Dart's critically acclaimed production of Laurel and Hardy. He also appeared on TV in the USA in the short film Father's Day and played the nerdy conspiracy theorist in David Steven-Lee's short film The Peak And The Pit , which is currently doing the film festival circuit.
Since graduating from Rose Bruford, Neil has shown himself to be a versatile character actor, performing in plays ranging from Arsenic and Old Lace at Vienna's English Theatre to Face to Face for Theatre ADAD, a play he co-wrote about restorative justice which toured prisons and young offenders institutes.
His real strength is comedy. He has a quirky, offbeat warmth on screen and is often cast as the put-upon everyman in commercials. (Recently for The Times, Freeview, Weetabix, Capital One, Wrigleys, Tourism Ireland, British Gas and Xfm).
As a stand-up comedian, Neil has toured comedy clubs and universities all over the UK and appeared on BBC One's Stand Up Show and Channel Five's Comedy Network. As a writer, he has co-written a black comedy, A Pig Too Far, for BBC Radio 4, and a sit-com pilot, Turn the World Down, which starred Brendon Burns and Sean Hughes, for Channel Four's Comedy Lab.
