The Charleston Comedy Festival is scheduled for January 14th through the 17th, but the only confirmed act so far is its biggest – the headliner. Stepping into that role will be Hannibal Buress.
Buress is a multi-talent who won the 2012 Comedy Central award for Best Club Comic. His second one-hour special Live in Chicago debuted on the network in March 2014. Buress is also a series regular on Comedy Central's Broad City and Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show.
The comedian has also dabbled in music video directing (“NaNa” by Chance the Rapper), commercial acting (Nike), and voice acting (“Grand Theft Auto V”). He also frequently performs on the late night television talk show circuit.
Buress was also a staff writer for both Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock.
His performance will be at the Sottile Theatre on Wednesday, January 14th at 8 pm. Tickets are already available and may be purchased here.
