The excellent web series High Maintenance, which we profiled earlier this year, is back with three new episodes that premiered over the weekend. Created by husband and wife team Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld, High Maintenance follows a weed delivery guy (Sinclair) dropping off marijuana for a different New Yorker each week (each episode stands on its own, so no need to start from the beginning). Here's the first new episode, featuring comedian Hannibal Buress. The rest are available here.
Comedian Eric Andre hosted a live New Year's special on Adult Swim earlier this week, dubbed The Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular. Adult Swim just posted the whole thing online, and you can watch the 45-minute special (27 without commercials) in its entirety via this link. Andre was joined by co-host Hannibal Buress and guests like Demi Lovato, Omarosa, and Kevin Sorbo. It's every bit as insane as you'd expect an Eric Andre Show special to be, and it's worth watching whether you want to have your own private second New Year's while you watch or not.
It seems like for every two days these past few months, a TV network has announced a new comedy about cops. Today is no exception, as ABC just put a new cop comedy starring acclaimed stand-up Hannibal Buress into development, Deadline reports. Co-created by Buress, who is a former 30 Rock and SNL writer, and Rob Sheridan, a Canadian writer who's worked on the Great White North comedies Little Mosque on the Prairie and 18 to Life, the single camera sitcom is inspired by Buress's stand-up and will star him as a small town cop.
And in case you were wondering, here are the six other cop [...]
The Montreal Just For Laughs Festival has been around for 30 years, or, one year longer than this year’s Rising Comedy Star of the Year recipient, Hannibal Buress, has been alive.
Gives you a little perspective about the festival that's considered one of the industry’s most prestigious.
Buress was one of seven comedians honored at the 2012 Festival’s Awards Luncheon, generally one of the festival’s premiere events.
Coming in at just under 40 minutes, this year’s awards ceremony was light on time, and, it should be noted, light on laughs. Perhaps we were spoiled last year when recipients including Louis C.K., Garry Shandling and Paul Feig brought the house [...]
Filming your first hour special is a milestone of any stand-up's career and the above documentary offer a rare look into what it's like the week before the taping. Hannibal does some stand-up, bombs, gets a call from Chris Rock, gets his jacket stolen, hangs out with his family, shops for pants (twice), and watches strangers nonsensically rap into the camera. Whatever he did, it sure did work. His special was hilarious and his pants seemed to fit.
