Buress swam with dolphins in RYOT’s The Dolphin Project, partook in some breakdancing during rapper Common’s performance on Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle, and soared through the creation of the universe in “The Beginning.” But, it is the VR porn provided by Naughty America that elicits Buress’ most insightful analysis.

Buress’ first Netflix one-hour comedy special, Comedy Camisado is out now. He will also appear in Comedy Central’s Broad City‘s third season debuting February 17, as well as Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show later this year.
