Apparently Nobody Told Hannibal Buress About Sydney's Lockout Laws

Staff Writer

We know, Hannibal. They SUCK.

More Hannibal Buress Hannibal Buress Profile

US comedian Hannibal Buress is set to kick off his Australian stand-up tour in Sydney tonight, but apparently nobody told him about the city's pain-in-the-arse lockout laws. 

The Emmy-nominated actor, who has starred in Comedy Central hit Broad City, as well as the Neighbours film franchise, presumably landed in Sydney last night and attempted to explore the town. 

But we can only assume those pesky lockouts struck again. 

Taking to Twitter just after 1am last night, Buress tweeted, "Hey Sydney, who did this? This shit sucks."

We hear you, Hannibal. 

Following his Sydney show tonight, Buress will move on to perform shows in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
