FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Alison Trovato 630.361.2265 | [email protected] February 8, 2018 Comedy Central Comedian Hannibal Buress Comes to the Arcada
St. Charles, IL: The Arcada Theatre continues its "Superstar Comedy Series" with "Broad City" star and "The Eric Andre Show" co-host, Hannibal Buress on Sunday, March 18. The stand-up comic, writer and actor sold-out his first national theatre comedy tour and currently has his third, hour-long stand-up special, "Comedy Camisado," streaming on Netflix. He's written for NBC’s Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock and was lauded by The New York Times as “one of the most supremely gifted and respected comics around.”
On Hannibal’s hilarious and highly anticipated comedy set, Arcada President and CEO Ron Onesti said, "After hosting big names including Steven Wright, Norm McDonald, Howie Mandel and most recently Dennis Miller, I am excited to continue our Comedy Superstars Series with Hannibal, one of the funniest guys I have ever seen!"
Hannibal’s comedy is anything but routine. “I'm doin' something different.” said Hannibal, "I just try to do what I think is funny; there's no huge message or through line.” Hannibal prides himself in delivering a show-stopping set every night so as not to taint the “art form” of stand-up comedy and inspire audiences to seek out new sources of entertainment.
Another point of interest with Hannibal is the fact that he was named after a Carthaginian military general, Hannibal Barca, but often has to assure women that he has no association with the widely popular cannibal, Hannibal Lecter.
On the big screen, Hannibal is best known for his roles in “Neighbors” alongside Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, and “Daddy’s Home” with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. He’s been featured on several fan-favorite TV shows including “Louie” and “The Mindy Project” and has a recognizable voice in Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers” and films “The Secret Life of Pets” and “Angry Birds” .
Tickets for the 7:00 show range from $39 - $99 and are available at oshows.com or by calling 630-962-7000.
The Historic Arcada Theatre is a 900-seat Vaudeville-era theatre that hosts over 300 live concerts annually.
