Killers of Kill Tony

Loving something that only ever happens somewhere else has a specific ache to it. You watch the clips at your desk, you memorize the regulars, you laugh alone in an office, and the room itself stays permanently in Austin. For about a million people that thing is Kill Tony, the live podcast where unknowns get one minute on stage and the regulars roast whatever is left of them afterward. The road version does not bring the bucket. It brings the killers, the David Lucases and Hans Kims and William Montgomerys that diehards refer to by first name, unleashed and unscripted in a downtown theater you can physically sit inside. That distinction is the entire product: not the open mic, the personalities. If you already quote the show to friends who do not watch it, you know exactly where you are going to be that night. And if you know, you have been waiting a long time for it to come here.
