Get ready for comedy chaos like never before – Kill Tony is making its Netflix debut! The wildly popular live podcast is turning into a streaming spectacle with three exclusive specials.
Expect raw stand-up, fearless critiques, and surprise celebrity guests. Starting April 7, 2025, Mondays are about to get hilariously unpredictable.
Here’s all you need to know!
What’s the Release Date?
Get ready to Netflix and Kill on April 7, 2025. That’s when the first of the new specials premieres, and from then on, expect new episodes to land every Monday.
And if nothing convinced you to watch it yet, this will do it: Tony Hinchcliffe, in his own words, called it “chaotic and insane” and said the Netflix partnership is “a comedian’s dream.” He’s not kidding.
The wild, uncensored, and gloriously unpredictable live comedy podcast Kill Tony is officially leaping from the stage to the screen.
How long would the show be?
Netflix has ordered not one, not two, but three exclusive comedy specials under the banner Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed, and the first is set to drop on April 7, 2025, at 3 AM EST.
Mark your calendars and set your alarms – this is no ordinary comedy show. This is a gritty, laugh-till-you-cry gauntlet of one-minute stand-up sets, spontaneous roasts, celebrity chaos, and straight-up comedy madness.
What Even Is Kill Tony? Why Is Everyone So Hyped?
If you haven’t heard of Kill Tony yet, you’re late to the party – but lucky for you, the party just went global. Created by the razor-sharp Tony Hinchcliffe and co-hosted by the always-on Brian Redban, this isn’t your grandma’s comedy hour.
Every Monday, aspiring comics throw their names into the now-iconic “Bucket of Destiny” for the chance to get randomly picked and perform just one minute of stand-up.
Then? They face the firing squad – Hinchcliffe and his celebrity panel – who dish out feedback, playful jabs, and brutally honest banter.
Kill Tony has been called the world’s #1 live comedy podcast for a reason. It’s raw. It’s fast. It’s unscripted. And it’s damn hilarious.
With a cult-like fanbase, a streak of sold-out shows across L.A., Austin, New York, and even Madison Square Garden, this underground sensation is finally breaking through the mainstream wall. And now, Netflix is betting big that this risky format is the future of comedy.
Where and with Whom is the Netflix Special shot?
Here’s what we know: Netflix is rolling out three Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed specials. The first one will be filmed at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas – Joe Rogan’s comedy haven and a temple for the rawest comedic talent in America.
And in true Kill Tony style, each episode will bring in familiar faces like Shane Gillis, Andrew Schulz, Post Malone, Joe Rogan, Theo Von and more. Expect banter, unpredictability, and maybe a few moments where you wonder, “Did they really just say that?”
For a show that started in 2013 in a room with 12 people, this is a full-circle moment. With over 700 episodes under its belt, Kill Tony has turned open mic chaos into a finely tuned engine of laughs -and now, Netflix is strapping in for the ride.
Is This Just the Beginning for Podcast-to-Streaming Crossovers?
Absolutely. This Netflix move isn’t just about Kill Tony – it’s a test run for the future of podcasting as full-on visual content. In a world where attention spans are short and content battles are fierce, Kill Tony is proof that raw, improvisational, no-holds-barred comedy still rules.
If the specials blow up (and let’s be real, they will), we’re likely looking at a wave of podcasts making the jump to streaming, blending the intimacy of audio with the reach of Netflix-sized audiences.
Tony and his crew are ready to show the world what real unscripted comedy looks like. No polish. No second takes. Just a mic, a minute, and a whole lot of guts.
Final Verdict: Is it worth watching?
If you love comedy that bites, surprises, and occasionally crosses the line (in the best way possible), then Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed is your next obsession.
This isn’t a Netflix “special” in the usual sense – it’s an experiment, a gamble, and possibly the next big thing in entertainment. Don’t be the one hearing about it from everyone else. Be the one quoting it Monday morning.
Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed is about to take over Netflix, and it’s bringing the fire with it. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious first-timer, one thing’s for sure: Mondays just got a hell of a lot funnier.
