Tony Hinchcliffe, internationally touring comedian of nearly two decades, one of the top roasters in the world, and the mastermind behind Kill Tony, has exploded in the podcasting space, orchestrating the world's top live comedy podcast since its inception in June 2013. Over the past decade, his platform has attracted millions of listeners. His flagship show, now permanently nestled at The Comedy Mothership in downtown Austin, consistently sells out in minutes and draws a throng of budding comedians eager for their moment in the spotlight.
In 2024, Hinchcliffe took Kill Tony on a triumphant tour, proving its unrivaled standing in the comedy ecosystem. The show traveled to prestigious venues like the Forum and YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, and continued the momentum with two sold out performances at the greatest venue in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City. This journey through the nation's largest arenas underscores Kill Tony's unmatched influence in the stand-up comedy world.
Hinchcliffe himself is a formidable force in comedy, known for his razor-sharp wit and his preeminent role in roast battles. His participation in Netflix's Roast of Tom Brady was not just an appearance but a showcase of his mastery over the art of roasting, where his words cut through the air with precision and humor, cementing his status as a top-tier wordsmith in the industry. His career, rich with experience and edged with audacity, positions him as a uniquely authoritative figure in the realm of comedy and free speech.
