“Few young standups would presume to dream of the magical ride Hannibal Buress has enjoyed over the past several years. After earning a gig as Aziz Ansari's road opener, Buress caught Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers' eye the night they both appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This led to SNL and 30 Rock writing jobs, a well-received Comedy Central hourlong special, a thriving college touring schedule, and a current spot co-hosting Adult Swim's Eric Andre Show. But it's all built on his comic sensibility, an appealing blend of inspired silliness, keen-eyed truthtelling, and detached cool. Tonight the laconic Buress returns to his hometown of Chicago alongside fellow funnyman expat Kyle Kinane and an array of locally-affiliated hip-hop support.”
