BIOGRAPHY

Hannibal Buress is way more than the performer who called out Bill Cosby. In July 2010, Buress made Variety magazine’s “Ten Comics to Watch in 2010” list. His first stand-up album, “My Name is Hannibal,” was released in July 2010. Buress was a writer on SNL from 2009–2010 and then “30 Rock.”  He has performed on several late night talk shows such as “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Conan.” An hour-long Comedy Central special, “Hannibal Buress Live from Chicago,” aired in March 2014. Hannibal has appeared on many television shows (“Broad City,” “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” among others) and movies (“Neighbors” and its sequel and “The Nice Guys”). His podcast, Handsome Rambler plays host to an eclectic mix of guests, from musicians Vic Mensa and Flying Lotus to fellow comedians Chris Rock and Tiffany Haddish. Since his role in Daddy’s Home alongside Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, Buress has appeared in films such as Spiderman: Homecoming, Baywatch opposite Dwayne Johnson, and TAG alongside Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, and Leslie Bibb. His distinct voice has been featured in animated films such as The Secret Life of Pets and most recently, The Secret Life of Pets 2. His most recent comedy special, Comedy Camisado, can currently be seen on Netflix. Hannibal continues to tear up the country doing stand-up. He’s got much more to talk about than Bill Cosby.
