Jimmy’s first appearance on Kill Tony was 21st September 2015, #122. Recorded at the LA Comedy Store in the Belly Room. The show moved in 2020 to Joe Rogan’s club (The Comedy Mothership, Austin, Texas) but this Strixus write up (of the show format and why it had to move) is a good one.
For anyone that’s not seen this show before – it’s very much an acquired taste and very unique to America. It’s a podcast, filmed live, and is described as a Stand-up comedy variety show.
There are always some decent comedians on the panel, alongside the hosts (Hinchcliffe and Redban) and names are randomly drawn, for wannabe stand-ups to perform their routine for a minute. The panel interview them afterwards and critique their set.
Bit too chaotic for me to watch on a regular basis – but it has an audience of over 2m a month and is a route into comedy for aspiring comics.
