Hannibal Buress has one of the more distinctive comedic voices working today — unhurried, observational, and built on a kind of relaxed intelligence that makes the punchlines land harder than they seem like they should. He was a staff writer on “30 Rock” and “Saturday Night Live” before his standup career took off, and the craft shows. His specials “Animal Furnace” and “Comedy Camisado” are frequently cited as among the best of the last decade.
About the Show
Buress on stage is methodical, funny, willing to let a bit develop slowly because he knows where it’s going. For Albany audiences who follow standup seriously, this is a headliner-tier booking at an intimate venue. Seeing a comedian of this caliber at The Egg rather than an arena is the right way to see them.
About The Egg
The Egg sits inside the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, with Plaza garage parking available. The main hall keeps the crowd close to the stage — ideal for standup, where proximity to the comedian’s delivery matters.
