He has performed in 41 states and 8 countries, and in 2019 alone he drove coast to coast five times while on tour. His favorite touring moments are: crying while meeting a wombat in Australia; spending two weeks in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival; meeting Dionne Warwick at the Smithsonian; and putting 12,000 miles on a minivan in two months with his fellow road goblin Mark. His favorite sandwiches come from: Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh, Black’s BBQ in Austin, one specific Publix in Tampa, and a torta truck he found while stranded in Pasco, Washington. One time on stage he accidentally punched the microphone and broke his wedding ring, and thanks to years of therapy he did not interpret this as a sign. His preferred stage entrance music is “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen, during which he walks very slowly. In addition to touring and writing he runs workshops on craft, performance, and how to apologize for ignoring texts. He and his wife live on a hobby farm outside Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where they adopt too many animals.Buy "About Time" on Amazon:https://amzn.to/44KXLXUFollow Neil onTheir Website:https://neilhilborn.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/neilhilborn/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/neilicornFollow ITTIS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ithinkthereforeislampodcastFind Melbourne spoken word events:https://melbournepoetry.com/Podcast art by Doane Stuart School
