Hannibal Buress, known for his comedy and music, has a long history with the venue formerly known as The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. After learning about its availability, he decided to take it over, reopening it as Isola Brooklyn in March 2023. He aims to maintain the venue's legacy of showcasing diverse talent while adding his personal touch to the programming. With notable performances already, Buress emphasizes crafting a unique experience rather than trying to outdo the past.
"I didn't know it was still available. [The realtor] took a creative process to getting a sale done."
"I'm programming it to my taste I'm performing a little bit... Any curator or any person that books shows, they bring their own lens."
