KILL TONY #439 - SWANSEA

In this episode of Kill Tony, the band heads back to Swansea, Massachusetts for their second East Coast show—and they’ve brought along their newest member, Jesse Johnson.

The night starts with a wild bucket draw that pulls out three first-time comedians: Peter Malaine, Matthew Cookson, and Lamb Benosky. Peter’s set is a charming mix of awkward dating stories and deep, unexpected philosophy. Matthew opens up about his rough past, including rocky relationships and time behind bars, all with sharp wit. Lamb’s set spirals into hilarious self-deprecation, which leads to an impromptu drum-off against Joel Bergjolmanes—Lamb doesn’t stand a chance.

Next up, John Wayne Pinkney tries his hand at stand-up with his signature awkward charm. Ryan Donovan tells bizarre but oddly compelling stories about his cats and dogs. Sean Nolan delivers a heartfelt story about raising his kids as a single father, and the room goes quiet with emotion.

Megan Langley takes the stage next, and the crowd’s reaction is mixed—some love it, others aren’t sure what to make of it. Then, out of nowhere, Evan surprises everyone with a live musical performance—he sings “The David” right in front of the audience.

Throughout the whole night, hosts Brian Redban, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Joel Jimenez keep the energy alive with their signature mix of rough-edged jokes and real, unexpected warmth. It’s chaos, it’s raw, and it’s totally unforgettable.
