After the former venue The Knitting Factory closed in 2022, comedian Hannibal Buress reopened the space as Isola Brooklyn in March 2023. He has a long connection to the venue, having performed in its first and last shows. The new venue aims to host diverse events, continuing the legacy of blending big-name acts with local talent. Buress is programming shows according to his preferences while also performing. Notable acts like Open Mike Eagle and Dave Chappelle have appeared, maintaining the vibrant atmosphere beloved by fans.
"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 and I'm performing a little bit."
"Any curator or any person that books shows, they bring their own lens. So everybody has different folks that they work with or things that they like."
