Hannibal Buress was just named one of Variety's Top 10 Comics to watch out for. His first stand-up comedy CD My Name is Hannibal shows why. Buress is a smart, polyvalent stand-up comic with a style all his own. This comedy CD is going to make you laugh for a long time to come. [Read More]

No matter how flimsy the topic might seem at first, Joe burrows right into its core, revealing the true iniquities giving everyone an opportunity to laugh whether they were onboard from the get-go or not.
