The Adult Swim crowd knows Hannibal Buress as the lovable, spacey sidekick to Eric André on The Eric André Show. Others may know him as the lovable, spacey comic whose Animal Furnace breathed some fresh air into the often-stale Comedy Central standup rotation. Those who have delved further may even recognize him as a writer on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, where he’s appeared as a homeless guy at least five times. Buress’ act is not as out there as the lo-fi insanity of Eric André, but its blend of absurdity and casual observation could leave some scratching their heads and others rolling on the floor.

Wed., Feb. 20, 8 p.m., $18-$20, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, philly.worldcafelive.com.
