In an interview promoting his upcoming special on Netflix, Comedy Camisado, Hannibal Buress discovered that a recent performance in South Africa was even weirder than he initially thought it was. Trevor Noah tipped Hannibal to the fact that some of the audience wasn’t expecting a comedy show.
Watch the whole interview here.
We’d be in for a Hannibal Buress travel show. Just watch this clip from his interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night if you’re not already convinced.
Hannibal Buress’ brand new special is set to start streaming on Netflix on Feb. 5th and you should know by know that the world is pretty much listening to every word he says.
Here’s a preview of some of those words and more that will be in Comedy Camisado.
Adam and Aaron Nee’s modern take on the Mark Twain universe occupied by Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Band of Robbers, finally comes out Fri. Jan. 15th in a handful of theaters and on demand.
If you get the chance, you should really catch it. Band of Robbers reminds us of how spirited and fun heist films can be and how to faithfully translate Twain to the 21st century. It also has a pretty fantastic round of performances to boot from Adam Nee, Kyle Gallner, Hannibal Buress, Matthew Gray Gubler, Melissa Benoist, Johnny Pemberton, Eric Christian Olsen and Stephen Lang.
If you want to catch it on the big screen, here are the theaters Band of Robbers will be screening at starting tomorrow:
ATLANTA – PLAZA THEATER
BOSTON – APPLE CINEMAS
CHICAGO – GENE SISKEL FILM CENTER
CLEVELAND – TOWER CITY CINEMAS
LOS ANGELES – LAEMMLE PLAYHOUSE 7
MINNEAPOLIS – THEATRES AT MALL OF AMERICA
NEW YORK CITY – AMC EMPIRE 25
ORLANDO – AMC ALTAMONTE MALL 18
SAN FRANCISCO – THE ROXIE
SEATTLE – THE VARSITY THEATRE TORONTO (CANADA) – CARLTON CINEMA
It’s barely a red band trailer, but it’s a trailer for the increasingly impressive looking, modern day take on Mark Twain, Band of Robbers coming to theaters Fri. Jan. 15th.
Anything from Monty Python: Live at the Hollywood Bowl to the brand new variety series hosted by The UCB 4, The UCB Show, to Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place to SNL to The Kids in the Hall to The World of Alan Partridge to…
30 Rock, stand-up from George Carlin, Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Hannibal Buress, TJ Miller, Kyle Kinane, Reggie Watts, Sean Patton, Eddie Pepitone, Jon Dore, Bo Burnham, Donald Glover, Garfunkel & Oates, Tim Minchin, and way more.
Really, that’s just scratching the surface. Actually, since this is the beta version, it’s only scratching the surface of scratching the surface of what the beta version of Seeso has got in store for us all like Harmonquest, Hidden America with Jonah Ray, etc..
Oh yeah, we should have mentioned that all of this is free until Jan. 6th, which makes one hell of a Christmas presents from Seeso. Get into all of it here.

Hannibal Buress has used it successfully and Dave Chappelle is getting set to put Yondr to use in his next show.
All Yondr utilizes is a pouch that locks your phone away while you’re in the showroom of whatever venue you’re at, then unlocks if you step out to the lobby to make a call, send a text message, etc. It seems like a beautifully simple solution to a constant problem that has plagued not only live comedy, but live music, movie screenings, etc. We’ll have to see how it plays out in the next few big time shows, but we won’t be surprised if these pouches keep showing up at more live show venues.
We wonder if that’s going to cause certain folks to carry a decoy phone or figure some way to sneak something else the records video or takes pictures into a show. Even if they do, it’ll be pretty obvious who is doing so at a show if no one else is taking pictures or recording anything.
Hopefully, this sort of technology won’t find its way into political events, rallies, dinners, speeches, etc.

Trevor Noah has not only put South Africa on the map comedy-wise, but him hosting at The Daily Show will have given African comedy a big spark.
For the next 3 years and potentially longer, Comedy Central will be hosting an international comedy festival, simply called The Comedy Central International Comedy Festival. Its inaugural run will take place very soon in Johannesburg, South Africa which will be the perfect place to stage a homecoming for the network’s newest franchise star, Trevor Noah.
With Comedy Central’s banner flying at the festival, the likes of Jeff Ross, Hannibal Buress, and more will be on the same stages as some of African comedy’s rising stars.
Thousands upon thousands are expected to be in attendance and if that does indeed happen, this festival will be in the league with JFL Montreal and The Melbourne International Comedy Festival i.e. the biggest comedy festivals in the world.
With the latest round of presidential debates out of the way, you can now catch up to the important post-debate analysis that Paul F. Tompkins, his puppet pundit collective at No, You Shut Up! have been doing.
Start off with the first NYSU Election Special Report that Fusion was nice enough to put on YouTube in full, complete with guests Hannibal Buress and Kristen Schaal.
If this week’s No, You Shut Up! election special is any indication, you should be definitely marking your calendar for Feb. 4th when it comes back in full force for season 4 on Fusion.
Just watch Hannibal Buress trying to hip Paul F. Tompkins to get the slang phrase “totally penis” into the mainstream vernacular from that special and you’ll see why we’re saying that you should be saving the date now.

Looks like there will be movies worth watch after Star Wars Ep. VII.
Modern day folk taking after Mark Twain’s beloved characters like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn to be a band of sort of honorable thieves sounds like a pretty enticing flick to us, especially with a trailer like this one.
That’s why we’re happy to hear Gravitas Ventures have acquired the rights to Aaron and Adam Nee’s Band of Robbers for a limited/VOD release that’s aimed at Jan .15th.
On top of that, the likes Hannibal Buress, Johnny Pemberton, Melissa Benoist, and Matthew Gray Gubler get to join in the fun on here as well.
Hannibal Buress had been working for awhile on developing a show at Comedy Central in which he would be the focal point. As you know, he eventually got Why? with Hannibal Buress off the ground.
Before that, Hannibal had a pilot for a show Unemployable where Hannibal attempts other jobs while having no real work experience outside of comedy. It didn’t get picked up, but after watching it we sincerely hope that it gets picked up somewhere else.
Watch the pilot here to see what we’re talking about.
Get as close a sense of what it was like to catch Hannibal Buress live in the back of a comic book store while he was wearing sunglasses and a “loud-ass shirt” with this nice, long, uncensored set from The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail.
Since Hannibal Buress was the sidekick on The Eric Andre Show, it’s only fitting that Eric Andre stop by and chat with Hannibal on his own show, Why? with Hannibal Buress.
It’s also fitting that the visit is a little less than traditional/normal/etc.
In the latest episode of Why? with Hannibal Buress, Hannibal made his way to a PETA protest and interviewed the defenders of animals rights.
For the most part, he found out how dedicated they are to the cause as well as made some of his clever semi-protest signs.
Why? with Hannibal Buress premiered this week and in doing so Hannibal wanted to take care of a personal vendetta. A Twitter troll has been bugging him 24/7, so he decided to try to confront them in person.
When he did, he found their true identity was shocking. Actually, it was shocking to both parties.
Either way, it made for a great, silly bit of cross promotion for another Comedy Central show and an upcoming Judd Apatow movie. Watch it here.
You can also watch the entire first episode over at CC.com here.
Conan O’Brien kicked off his week at Comic-Con appropriately with taking Mad Max: Fury Road’s Doof Wagon down from LA to San Diego.
On top of that, he found “secret” audition tapes for the new Wolverine that will soon replace Hugh Jackman which includes Hannibal Buress, Patton Oswalt, Larry King, and more.
Even more impressive than that, O’Brien passed a “Comic-Con Citizenship Test” proctored by none other than the Nerdist himself, Chris Hardwick.
This was all just Conan’s first day at Comic-Con and we can only imagine the possibilities of what’s to come. Let’s hope for special editions of Clueless Gamer and a walk from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on the Comic-Con floor.
Who knew that they would put your name on the graphics just for an audition?
Get a glimpse of what it might be like had Hannibal Buress taken the reins to The Daily Show instead of Trevor Noah in this “secret audition” that Buress did for the coveted host gig.
Though he won’t be showing up in a Comedy Central show in a suit and tie, we’re glad to see Hannibal show up in whatever the hell he wants on his own show, Why? with Hannibal Buress, premiering this Wed. at 10:30PM.
Why? with Hannibal Buress premieres this Wed. and, already, you know what you’ll have to look forward to right after the first season wraps.
In fielding questions on Twitter, Hannibal has revealed that he’s set on shooting his next stand-up this September and then looking towards a release in Jan. 2016 on Netflix.
In case you’re like many folks and are obsessed with Buress and everything he does, mark your calendars now.
It’s too early to tell, but we’re curious if he will require everyone in the audience to wear a Hawaiian shirt.
Why? with Hannibal Buress premieres this week and just a few days ago, Hannibal chatted with Conan O’Brien about what fans, viewers, etc. have to look forward to with his new show as punctuated by his “shark week” promo.
Look forward to all of this, as we are, on the series premiere this Wed. Jul. 8th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.

Tune in Tues. night, Jun. 30th, 12:30AM on Comedy Central for the premiere.
Why? is Hannibal Buress’ first show that he’s the sole star of. As such, he wants to do everyone on his show to give everything they’ve got to make the best show possible.
Apparently, that includes wearing Hawaiian shirts and Hannibal isn’t afraid to enforce that policy.
Watch what happens in this new promo for Why? premiering July 8th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.
Hannibal Buress is on Broad City and The Eric Andre Show as well as all over the country and the world with his stand-up. On top of all of that, he’s about to start with his very own show Why? on Comedy Central.
So, with that a mind, catch a moment of Paul F. Tompkins catching a few moments (including one about how aware he is of what’s happening on The Eric Andre Show) with one of the funniest and busiest people in comedy, Hannibal Buress on the latest episode of Speakeasy.
Over the years, you’ve seen Hannibal Buress crush it as a stand-up, actor, restaurant critic, sports reporter, and more.
That has to be part of why Comedy Central has a new show, “Why? with Hannibal Buress” where Hannibal gets to seemingly do and talk about whatever he wants.
You’ll see that in this promo and then be excitedly waiting for its premiere on Comedy Central, Wed. Jul. 8th at 10:30PM.
Combining what could be a fun Goonies-ish heist film and the modern day equivalents of Mark Twain’s legendary characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Band of Robbers looks promising as an indie comedy, a niche genre that’s slowly becoming synonymous with dramedy.
Writer/director duo Adam Nee and Aaron Nee bring Matthew Gray Gubler, Kyle Gallner, Hannibal Buress, Johnny Pemberton, and more to pull this off.
Watch the teaser here and then maybe, if you can, catch at The LA Film Festival on Jun. 13th.
