Hannibal Buress: Chris Rock

Dave Chappelle Dept: The three-police-officer intervention resulted in a $37 fine and a priceless bit in his stand-up routine. After being stopped for what he felt was an absurd infraction, Buress decided to have some fun with the officers, even asking one of them how much money he made, according to Montreal Gazette. The chronically laid-back Buress, 29, who has been described by Chris Rock as the love child of Steven Wright, Mos Def and Dave Chappelle, seems to relish uncomfortable moments in real life and on stage and when he came to Montreal last year, Hannibal Buress played five solid nights at Just for Laughs, killed Snoop Dogg s Ain t No Fun at Hip-Hop Karaoke and got a jaywalking ticket. But Buress, who s coming back to Montreal for his new show, Still Saying Stuff, part of the Just For Laughs festival, is unrepentant. I m going to do my shows. See my friends. Drink, he says, on the phone from his hometown of Chicago. And I m still going to jaywalk. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
