KT #768 - SHANE GILLIS + JAMES MCCANN

Kill Tony’s latest episode was a wild, hilarious ride with an amazing lineup of comedians. The night started with a big welcome for returning favorites Shane Gillis and James McCann—both got a huge cheer from the crowd, and you could feel the love in the room.

Then came the legendary Martin Phillips, who kicked things off with his signature absurd one-minute bits—think dogs, whistles, and totally bizarre scenarios that left everyone laughing hard.

Cameron Shepard made his debut with a story so strange and funny it felt like a movie. He talked about Robert Wadlow’s “big stupid cock,” his sandwich-only diet, and why he once tried backflips off trees. You won’t forget it.

Liv Taylor shared her unique perspective as the daughter of a former crackhead, telling the story of her unconventional family and how she found her voice in the Austin comedy scene.

Frankie Gonzalez opened up about his family life—his gay brother, his own psychedelic acid trips, and everything in between. Dicky gave one of the most heartfelt sets of the night, talking honestly about his past struggles with alcohol and drugs, his dramatic arrest, and how he found sobriety.

Ronaldo Mercado brought his bilingual humor, sharing stories of growing up with a single mom and surviving the wild energy of the Sunset Strip. Dedrick Flynn kept the laughs going with his beach party tales and wild Sambar stories.

Brandon Fields used his military background to turn his career shift—from flooring sales to tire sales—into comedy gold, all while poking fun at his “big forehead” and his “white name.”

Lucas Henderlighter delivered a masterclass in absurdity. His set covered porta-potty disasters, his grandmother’s “Barely Legal Porn” collection, and other surreal moments you won’t believe are real.

Mack Gonzalez had everyone in stitches with his cock ring story—which led to a hilarious phone call with his brother that revealed a whole family tradition of sexual accessories.

Dusty Carter brought his anti-AI, anti-robot rants, and James Swanson the Third surprised everyone with his midget-themed set—funny, yes, but also deeply personal and surprisingly moving.

The night wrapped up with Matt Worldly’s trippy tale of alien wizard science and his side hustle as a professional body painter. And Pat O’Neill closed it all out with his trademark crude, no-holds-barred humor.

Throughout the night, the hosts celebrated both longtime regulars and fresh talent. The energy was electric, the crowd was into every bit, and there was real warmth between the comedians—like a big, chaotic, hilarious family reunion.
