Hot February Night is a 2007 album by alternative comedian Neil Hamburger. It was originally released by Off-Price Value Center in 2007 and then re-issued on LP by Drag City in 2010.
The Album was recorded live in Madison Square Garden as Hamburger acting as the opening act to Tenacious D. A number of times throughout the album Hamburger mocks the crowd for their impatience and insults them by pretending to announce the band only to quickly change tack and continue on with the act.
Hamburg, officially the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin, as well as the overall 7th largest city and largest non-capital city in the European Union with a population of over 1.84 million. Hamburg's urban area has a population of around 2.5 million and its metropolitan area is home to more than five million people. The city lies on the River Elbe and two of its tributaries, the River Alster and the River Bille. One of Germany's 16 federated states, Hamburg is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south.
A hamburger is a food, typically considered a sandwich, consisting of one or more cooked patties—usually ground meat, typically beef—placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, grilled, smoked or flame broiled. Hamburgers are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, or chilis; condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, or a "special sauce", often a variation of Thousand Island dressing; and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger.

In 2015, the act inspired the feature-length film Entertainment, which stars Turkington as a "variant" of the character.
