Hannibal Buress @ The Sit Down Comedy Club

In Australia for the JUST FOR LAUGHS Festival at the Sydney Opera House – HANNIBAL BURESS will do one special show only – in Brisbane on Monday October 22.

 

HANNIBAL BURESS, who has featured on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, recently won the award for Best Club Comic at the 2012 Comedy Awards. He appears on Comedy Central’s John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show and co-hosts the Adult Swim series The Eric Andre Show.

 

Buress has earned both the honour of performing at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival and the well-earned respect of his peers who regard him as one of the brightest young talents to emerge from Chicago. 

 

Several major publications have taken note of his ascent with Rolling Stone choosing him as one of The 20 Funniest People, Videos and Things of the Coming Year. Variety magazine named him as one of the 10 Comics to Watch in 2010 and Timeout magazine named him as 2007’s Funniest Person in Chicago. His debut CD, My Name is Hannibal made it to #1 comedy album on iTunes and his latest CD, Hannibal Buress: Animal Furnace is out now.

 

“If Steven Wright, Mos Def and Dave Chappelle had a baby, that would be disgusting, but it would sound like Hannibal Buress. The funniest young comic I’ve seen in years.” 

– Chris Rock

 

"Likeable Buress sits on the overlap of the geeky and the cool, which should make him a favourite of hipsters everywhere. He’s a language nerd who enjoys pulling apart everyday phrases like a kid with a spider; an unyielding logic he also applies to deconstructing admittedly obscure punk lyrics, to great effect."
