Hannibal Buress is set to open a new performance venue called Isola Brooklyn in Williamsburg, targeting former Knitting Factory space. The closure of the Knitting Factory was due to a significant rent increase, prompting the relocation of its operations to Manhattan. Buress expressed frustrations over the challenges faced in opening the venue, citing unexpected delays and costs, but is enthusiastic about transitioning to hosting events. The venue plans to host weekly comedy nights and will kick off with an opening performance by Buress.
Good luck to whoever wants to take the space.
Getting this venue open took way longer than I thought and it was more expensive than I imagined.
