Stand-Up Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on Defending Matt Rife, the ‘Kill Tony’ Podcast and ‘Never Apologizing’ After Using Racial Slur in 2021


"Kill Tony" podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe on Netflix is a Joke Festival and life after "cancel culture" in 2021.

His comedy was shaped in large part by Jim Carrey’s goofy antics, and an ability to bounce back from tough responses to his own early attempts at humor — such as the fellow student who punched him in the face after Hinchcliffe teased him for being walked to the bus stop by his mother. He began opening for comics like Joe Rogan and Jeff Ross; the latter helped Hinchcliffe land writing gigs on “Comedy Central Roast,” where he penned Martha Stewart’s raunchy zingers for Justin Bieber, among others. The podcast is famed for its “Bucket of Destiny,” giving aspiring and seasoned comedians a shot at performing a stand-up set for 60 seconds and receiving feedback from judges — and getting roasted.
