Kyle Kinane has been one of the funniest stand-ups going for the past few years. Last summer, he made this pilot, entitled Kyle Kinane's Going Nowhere, for Comedy Central that the network passed on. It's a pseudo-travel show that sees him visiting San Francisco and hanging out with a lot of weirdos. It's a much watch if you like Kyle Kinane, pseudo-travel shows, or footage of weirdos.

Over the past few years, Kyle Kinane has emerged as one of the best stand-ups going, with his career rising as he's continued to hone his craft. Equal parts witty, raw, and dark, his act has earned him stand-up spots on Conan, Mash Up, John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show, and his own Comedy Central Presents special, plus guest spots on sitcoms like Workaholics and Bob's Burgers. Now, Kinane is releasing his first hour-long stand-up special, entitled Kyle Kinane: Whiskey Icarus, which drops on Comedy Central at 11pm this Saturday. It's a wildly funny stand-up hour — one of the best of the year — and both a great [...]
Comedy Central has given hilarious stand-up Kyle Kinane a brand new web series, called "30 Seconds Over Washington," as part of their Indecision 2012 coverage. In each episode, Kinane takes a look at absurd political ads, both local and national, and riffs on them. Here's the first installment, in which he plays crazy "Vote for Me" ads from a racist, a bestialist, a guy who slurs a lot, and ex-Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who ends up being the least crazy of the bunch with an ad that leans heavily on the public's love for Chuck Norris jokes. It's a nice showcase for Kyle Kinane's sense of humor, and hopefully [...]
If you follow fantastic comedian Kyle Kinane on Twitter (and you should), you might've noticed the crazy shitstorm that happened yesterday. Basically, he tried to explain that people should stop giving Colin Kane the publicity he thrives on by bitching loudly and calling him an asshole. He suggested instead they ignore him, so he'll just go away. The Internet saw this as a tacit endorsement of Kane (which it wasn't, as Kinane calls Kane's act, "misguided, lazily-written and mean-spirited") and decided to attack Kinane for it by calling him a misogynist homophobe who wants babies to die of AIDS (which he isn't). Again, these were the people he was [...]
“Give me a second with those beers, guys, I’ve gotta go get ice on this buffalo.”
Kyle and I are in Interior, South Dakota, just outside Badlands National Park. The town has 94 residents (according to the 2010 U.S. Census) and two bars (according to our own). We’re in the second drinking establishment of the evening, The Horseshoe, having found bar #1, The Wagon Wheel, to be the blandest bar in the United States, manned solely by its owner, who was drinking coffee and watching Armageddon. Here at The Horseshoe, though, we're surrounded by pool-playing cattlemen, a drunk with a brass-knuckle knife sticking out of his jeans, a woman [...]
Whiskey Icarus, Kyle Kinane’s first Comedy Central special, came out this week as a CD/DVD combo pack. In this follow up to Kinane’s celebrated 2010 debut Death of the Party, Kinane continues to tackle the important issues, such as what it’s like calling a cab to take him to Wendy’s and the underlying meaning and struggles of being delivered an unsliced pizza. Enjoy Kinane’s storytelling and self-deprecating take on everyday life, and then maybe treat yourself to an unsliced pizza of your very own.
Here's Kyle Kinane appearing on the first episode of L.A.-based standup Matt Ingebretson's funny new web series "Matt's Game Chamber." Ingebretson interviews Kinane while the two play a Batman video game, and Kinane slowly destroys Ingebretson's basement, piece by piece. Clearly, interviewing people while they're distracted by video games is a smart move, and it'll probably become the norm for all TV interviews once those late night hosts get a load of this web show.
"How much food can you fit on an ironing board?" Kyle Kinane always asks the perfect questions. It must've been quite a contrast seeing Kyle talking about the fairly racist names of Trader Joe's food and then seeing a guy slap on Chinese glasses eyes. Though, come on, Kyle, putting a hand puppet on your erect penis is always hi-lar-ious. It has to be one of the Top 5 funniest things to put on an erect penis.
Every year, Comedy Central, like all of the other networks, announces a new slate of shows it’s developing, and it’s always an impressive collection of some of the funniest people going. Comedy fans who have been around long enough know not to get too excited though because there’s only so much room in the Comedy Central schedule (and budget), so most of the shows the network develops each year don’t end up getting made. Comedy Central just announced the shows that ARE getting made this year – new projects from funny people like Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Schumer, and Ben Hoffman. It’s great to see these comedians bringing [...]
“I’ve never been to Sturgis, I just thought I’d showed up at the ugliest gay pride parade I’ve ever seen. Really, that much leather and tassels and you’re going to tell me you’re all straight?”
We’re at The Knuckle Saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota, at the tail end of the 71st Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The Saloon is packed; there’s a handful of wary locals but many of the people in the crowd are bikers rounding out a weeklong bender. Kyle Kinane's on the stage, and as his opening lines swing out over the bar to mixed reactions I grip my pack tighter. In the bag, [...]
Here's Kyle Kinane's stand-up set on Conan yesterday, which was really funny, just like how stand-up sets are supposed to be. Nicely done!
One of the funniest stand-ups going, Kyle Kinane has his first hour-long special debuting on Comedy Central on November 24th at 11pm, the cable network just announced. Here's Kinane's most recent Conan set for those who aren't yet familiar with this talented dude. Get with it, you punks!
