The whole world has been focused on Bill Cosby since a clip from Hannibal Buress’ show went viral reminding society that Cosby had a big ol’ closet full of rapey secrets. Buress himself has been focused on more jokes. His newest special, Comedy Camisado is the first stand up special from Hannibal since the Cosby Comisado (Camisado means “surprise attack” or “attack at night” in military speak). The special was filmed at The Varsity Theater in Minneapolis and debuts February 5th

On Friday, March 18th you can recover from your St Paddy’s Day hangover with a stand up offering from Jimmy Carr. Carr, the first British comedian to score a Netflix special. If you’re unfamiliar with Carr, he was on the Nasty Show at Just for Laughs this year, and Artie Lange recently praised him as being a hilarious guy who talks like a gutter rat. Funny Business will offer folks both here and abroad a chance to see how Carr’s notoriously British one liner style plays on both sides of the pond.

Patton Oswalt’s Talking for Clapping will premiere on Netflix on Friday, April 22. The hour-long special featuring new stand-up material will cover “everything from misery to defeat to hopelessness,” says Netflix, also jokingly noting that it’s his “most upbeat special to date.”
