Kill Tony Debuts on Netflix with a Wild Ride at the Mothership
The long-running live comedy podcast Kill Tony has officially hit Netflix, and the first of three episodes pulled out all the stops. Set inside the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, the show transformed into what felt like a full-blown arena event—without losing its unpredictable charm.
A Stacked Lineup for a Historic Episode
Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban stayed true to the show's roots. Despite fears that Netflix might censor the content, episode one remained raw and unfiltered. They were joined by a stacked roster of surprise guests: Joe Rogan, Tom Segura, Ron White, Jeff Ross, Shane Gillis (as Donald Trump), Adam Ray (as Joe Biden and Dr. Phil), and Kyle Dunnigan (as Elon Musk and RFK Jr).
The guest impressions brought wild energy. Shane’s Trump was chaotic. Adam Ray’s Biden and Dr. Phil were spot on. Kyle’s Elon Musk, complete with mannerisms and accent, had the audience gasping for air from laughter.
The Bucket Pulls: Long Shots Land Big Moments
Out of over 300 sign-ups, six comedians were randomly pulled from the bucket to perform. These weren’t complete newbies—each had at least some experience. Mattie Stew, a door guy at Sunset Strip, shared how he almost gave up on signing up but decided to try again just in time. His gamble paid off.
One of the most memorable moments came from Seabbass, a Kill Tony fan who rode his bike from California to sign up. After a tough period of depression, he credited the show—and Casey Rocket—for helping him rediscover joy. His full-circle moment was one of the night’s most heartfelt.
High Production, Same Kill Tony Chaos
Netflix added polish to the production—better lighting, character name tags, and camera upgrades—but the soul of the show didn’t change. The set even included side screens like a live sports event. The only thing fans noticed missing were a few logos and hats, likely edited out for brand clearance.
Even small changes sparked big laughs. During a post-set interview, a comic joked about being called a “peasant” after producers made him remove his hat, leaving his hair exposed and unstyled.
Real Impact Beyond the Stage
The response to episode one has been largely positive, with Kill Tony reaching the No. 2 spot on Netflix behind only WWE Raw. For the comedians featured, the exposure has already begun to change things. Mattie Stew joked about an uptick in lawn care requests after the episode aired, while others described the mix of nerves and excitement that came with seeing their sets reach a global audience.
What’s Next?
With two more Netflix episodes on the way, expectations are high. For aspiring comics, the advice remains simple: get on stage as often as possible. And maybe don’t wear a hat you’re too attached to.
