Hannibal Buress to Return to Comix At Foxwoods, 2/6-8

Hailed by the New York Times as a man whose comedic presence lands him squarely between "cerebral and swagger," fan favorite act Hannibal Buress will return to Comix At Foxwoods for a special four show lineup this February.

Buress will take the stage for three straight nights at 8 p.m., beginning Thursday, Feb. 6, before finishing the weekend with an additional 'Nasty' show on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 10:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now and are $25 for general advance admission ($35 the day of), while VIP advance admission tickets are $50 ($60 the day of). A two-drink minimum applies to all tickets. The shows are 21+ and for mature audiences only.

Tickets are available online at www.comixatfoxwoods.com; by calling the Foxwoods Box Office at 800-200-2882; or in person at the Foxwoods Theater Box Offices. Please contact the Comix Comedy Club at 860-312-5050 for additional information or with questions regarding group sales or private parties.

Buress, the 2012 winner for Comedy Central's "Best Club Comic," recently signed a deal with the network that will see him headline his own comedy tour, debut a new one-hour special, and become a series regular on the upcoming show, Broad City. A former staff writer for both Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, he is the co-host of Adult Swim's The Eric Andre Show, has guest-starred on Fox's The Mindy Project, and appears as a regular "expert" on FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. In addition, his debut comedy CD, "My Name Is Hannibal" (2010) and his Comedy Central one-hour special, Animal Furnace (2012), were both lavished with praise - each making multiple "Top 10" lists.

With talents that include video directing ("NaNa" by Chance the Rapper), commercial acting (Nike's Kevin Durant spot), and lending his voice to the much-anticipated game, "Grand Theft Auto V," Buress has also been lauded by Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire and Variety for his stage presence and wit. As a stand-up comedian, he's been consistently featured throughout the late-night circuit, including the Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
