Neil Hurst has been singing since before he could talk. Plenty of television work came for 'little boy with the big voice', theatre tours and eventually cabaret. Neil has a fully trained Baritone voice and has been reviewed as -

"simply an all round entertainer, Neil is the perfect entertainment for any event" - Mark Richie, The Stage.

Neil was also interviewed discussing career and the business in 'The Stage' and was as one of the 'Show People' in June 2008.

Neil has been working in Cabaret since the age of 15. Starting out in pubs and clubs as part of a double act with his Mum, 'It Takes Two' (Cheesy Huh?), Neil went solo at the age of 18, lumping his P.A. from venue to venue and learning his craft, quickly progressing from clubs to hotels, from hotels to cruises and can adapt his act to suit any audience.

Neil is a regular cabaret act for many of the top hotel chains including Warners and Britannia, and also for the major holiday centres, Haven, Park Resorts, Butlins etc... His Cabaret work has taken him from the UK all over the world and most recently performing in cabaret on Broadway, New York and on the Las Vegas Strip.

Working from backing tracks or with live backing Neil can work almost any venue and is equally at home on a stage in a working men's club as he is on the stage of one of the top cruise liners. Neil can be booked as a singer, a comic or both and can also provide dancers and a female singer to create a fully costumed, professionally choreographed production show.
