HANNIBAL BURESS
AT THE REPUBLIK
Hannibal Buress, at this point, may best be associated with his controversial Bill Cosby standup routine in which he called Cosby out for sexual assault. It’s a clip that made the rounds on social media before making it to TV and eventually leading to more than 50 women coming forward with similar allegations against Cosby. His repertoire goes far beyond that, though, which you can catch at 8 p.m. at The Republik. Tickets cost $29.50-$39.50 general admission, with a $5.50 increase the day of the show.
