What Is Kill Tony?

I know some of you have no idea what Kill Tony is. Here's a quick rundown... Kill Tony is a popular live comedy show and podcast where comedians get a chance to perform short stand-up sets in front of a crowd. The show is hosted by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, along with a panel of guest comedians. Performers’ names are pulled at random, and each person gets one minute to tell jokes on stage.
