Left for Dead in Malaysia is an album by the alternative comedian Neil Hamburger.[3][4] It was released by Drag City in 1999.[5]

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote: "Like Hamburger's first two albums, Left For Dead mercilessly exposes, exaggerates, and satirizes the unnatural, formalized conventions of stand-up comedy: the forced joviality, the manufactured intimacy, the contrived nature of joke-telling, and the sort of theatrical masochism of an art form that requires its participants to confess their failures as human beings, then derive humor from their own shortcomings."[6]
