A longtime comedian, Hamburger first gained national attention following two television appearances on HBO's Def Comedy Jam in the early nineties. Known for his clean comedy routines, Jones became so recognizable for his use of the word "hamburger" at the end of jokes or as a substitution for profanity, often stretching the syllables, that he soon adopted it as his stage name. Hamburger will be hosting and performing a 20 minute set.
