Hannibal Buress - Animal Furnace

Hannibal has been maximizing his potential lately, touring at a frantic pace while still curating a weekly comedy night at the Brooklyn Knitting Factory. Last year's My Name Is Hannibal did a lot to get him out there on a grander scale and by the looks of Animal Furnace, we may have a new heir to the Chappelle/Rock throne.

Less pickle juice humor, but food still plays a big role in the proceeding, as do travel and dating crazy ladies. That's really just the tip of the iceberg, as cancer walks, passive robberies and Montreal and Edinburgh also figure prominently in the proceedings. There really isn't anything un-funny about Animal Furnace. Those currently possessing of working ear and eye parts should avail themselves of this link and get it with the quickness.

Hannibal Buress - My Name Is Hannibal

I've seen a couple of Hannibal Buress spots on the late night TV and enjoyed him a bunch. Originally from Chicago, he has been living in NYC for a bit. He seems to be maximizing his potential around town, hosting a regular Sunday night thing at the Knit in Brooklyn and maybe writing for Jimmy Fallon, on top of maintaining a pretty hectic touring schedule. Can't knock dude's hustle.

My Name Is Hannibal is his first record. Recorded in front of his hometown Chicago audience, it's on Stand Up! Records and covers topics including, but certainly not limited to: L'il Kim, drunk driving, pigeon killing and the benefits of owning prosthetic metal arms. It's educational and hysterical and you would do well to pick it up here. Any guy who has glowing endorsements from Chris Rock, Aziz Anzari and Mike Birbiglia is ok by me.
