[COMEDY] Comedian Hannibal Buress has made it a habit of coming to Buffalo on short notice. His performances at Helium Comedy Club, this Tuesday, August 28 and Wednesday, August 29, were announced just last week. Last time the self-proclaimed “mildly popular” comedian came to Buffalo, it was on an even tighter time table, making a last minute surprise appearance, which was announced only the day of the show, April Fool’s Day, 2016. Despite the last minute announcement, hundreds of fans lined up to attend the show, which was held at the Waiting Room—to see the former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock writer deliver absurdist jokes with a perfectly dead pan delivery. He’s had his fair share of provocative public moment’s, too including calling out Bill Cosby’s sexual abuse in a stand up routine, and more recently, being cut off during a routine at Loyola University for making a joke about the Catholic Church’s history of child abuse. He’s certainly not afraid to go there, and more importantly, speak truth to power. Expect some of that next week when the Chicago native makes a stop in Buffalo for three shows.
