Hannibal Heading to Holland?

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingChicago stand-up Hannibal just got an offer for a ticket to Europe to shoot a segment of a comedy show in November. If that plan proceeds, Hannibal will play in a 650 seat theater in Rotterdam and be rewarded with a six minute segment on the air.

This opportunity came his way after Hannibal was noticed on this year's Montreal Comedy Festival New Faces Showcase (a positive mention of his performance in Time Out New York here).

Hannibal has been kind enough to consent to chat about this, his new management deal with 3Arts, and other exciting developments later today when he sits down in an undisclosed Northside diner with us to shoot The Bastion's first video interview. Keep your eyes peeled.

Comments

I didn't even know Hannibal could SPEAK "Rotterhaine-liandish," let alone do a whole headliner set in it! "Tres smartante," as they say in Rott-daneland! Dateland-rotten! Hottland-danisher! Whatever it's called! Congrats, "Ah-ni-BAHLL"! Viva Eu-ROPE-a!!!

I didn't even know Robert Buscemi could work out how to post things on the internets! Congrats "Ro-Bert-to"!

Thank ye, I heart Me! I'm really "enjoying" these "Interntets"! They're "fun-makers" for "me"! Thanks for "congratulating" me! This whole "exchange" is "mad quotable"! That's why I'm using "so" many "quotation" marks! Like an "uneducated" person, I think they make things I say "stand out" and "sing" on the "page"--or, in the case of the "Internets," the "screen"!

*smiles "ornery-ily"*
*returns to "Mr." Howie Mandel's "deal/no deal"*
*bites into "broiled chicken"*
*wonders whose "broiled chicken" is sitting here on a "bus-awaiting bench"*
*decides God has "gifted" it to me*
