Hannibal Buress Returns to West Michigan on the 'Hannibal Montanabal' Tour

Hannibal Buress is full of surprises — just look back to this past February. The comedian made a special unannounced guest appearance at Dave Chappelle’s show in DeVos Performance Hall, then upped the ante by headlining his own pop-up show the next day at the Pyramid Scheme. And to make matters more interesting, he did all of this in the midst of a snowstorm.

Local Filmmaker Daniel Falicki releases ‘Accidental Exorcist’, preps for ‘Alien Implant’

Just six or seven years ago, Grand Rapids filmmaker Daniel Falicki was not in a good spot. 

Recently divorced and unemployed, Falicki was going through what he now refers to as an “early midlife crisis.” Then, a neighbor in his apartment complex one day asked Falicki if he could shoot wedding videos. Falicki figured he’d give it a shot, and soon discovered a special knack for film. Before he knew it, he was making commercials.

“It was actually a blessing in disguise,” Falicki said. “They pretty much paid me to learn.”

Michael Kosta: Ann Arbor Native Returns to Grand Rapids

If you asked a teenage Michael Kosta what tennis meant to him, he’d tell you, “It’s no laughing matter.”

After all, the now 36-year-old comedian grew up in Ann Arbor playing competitively before going on to win four Big Ten titles with the University of Illinois. It was getting serious. But when it came time for the pro circuit, Kosta topped at number 864 in the world, earning around $11,000 over four years. That’s when he began to see some humor in competition.
