Date with Rising Comedy Superstar
Chicago comedian, writer and actor Hannibal Buress will bring
his unique blend of irreverent humor and satirical musings to

Buress is emerging as a comedy superstar, a favorite on the late
night circuit. His third hour standup special Comedy Camisado
is currently streaming on Netflix. He is also a cast member on
Comedy Central’s hit series Broad City, as well as the co-host of
Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show.
Violence and Reconciliation
“Quietly,” a play that grapples
with the carnage, consequences
and hope for healing following
Ireland’s decades-long, bloody
conflict referred to as the Trou-
bles, makes its West Coast pre-
miere in Portland.
The story brings two mid-
dle-aged men to a Belfast bar
where a horrific event trans-
formed their lives over 30 years
before. They share a few pints, a
football match between North-
ern Ireland and Poland is play-
ing on the TV, and as the Polish
bartender bears witness these
men unload their disparate sto-
ries of a day ever-etched in their
psyches. Quietly is a powerful
story of violence and forgive-
ness.
The Corrib Theatre produc-
tion opens Friday, April 13 and
runs through May 6 at New
Expressive Works, 810 S.E.
Two Irish characters interact in “Quietly,” a powerful Belmont St. Admission is $25
general and $20 for students.
