“My second year of college, I started performing comedy at an open mic....” — Hannibal Buress Quote

“My second year of college, I started performing comedy at an open mic. It was good to do open mics with the kids. It's a good, safe spot to start, you know?”

“I'm in awful shape. I'm trying to get in better shape. My girlfriend, she's in good shape. She gives me health tips sometimes, like, 'Hannibal, you're going to die.' Stuff like that.”

“I took an improv class in 2005 in Chicago at ComedySportz, which was short-form, more of a games-based improv. I remember it being real fun and helping with my stand-up. If I did an improv class, and then I did stand-up later, I felt looser on stage and more comfortable.”

“Obviously, wrestling is a lot of fun, and I love it. But on the mic is where I have the most fun.”

“I don't want to be on the mic, man. I want to stay producing.”

“I actually like to sing on 'Rock Band.' I prefer to take the mic.”
