About Tony Hinchcliffe
Tony Hinchcliffe (born June 8, 1984) is an American comedian. Since 2013, he has hosted the stand-up comedy podcast Kill Tony, a showcase of professional and amateur comedians who take turns doing one-minute sets. Hinchcliffe is known primarily for roast comedy, having been on the writing staff of the Comedy Central Roast series, and appearing at the All Def Digital Roast of Snoop Dogg in 2016, The Roast of Tom Brady in 2024 and The Roast of Kevin Hart in 2026. He has released three comedy specials, One Shot on Netflix in 2016, Making Friends on YouTube in 2020, and Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed on Netflix in 2025.
Born in Youngstown, Ohio, on June 8, 1984, Hinchcliffe was raised by his single mother in the city's north side. He attended Ursuline High School, where he was on the wrestling team, graduating in 2003. He is of Italian descent. In 2007, Hinchcliffe moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. He started performing stand-up at open mics at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California, and became a paid regular at the venue. He also started opening for comedians Joe Rogan and Jeff Ross on tour. Hinchcliffe has written for the Comedy Central Roast episodes featuring James Franco, Justin Bieber and Rob Lowe.
Since 2013, Hinchcliffe has produced and hosted a podcast called Kill Tony, a weekly live show recorded at The Comedy Store, with co-host Brian Redban. Each selected contestant gets to perform a one-minute comedy set, followed by a discussion and critique by the panel of judges. Hinchcliffe has a reputation for dark humor which, combined with his insult-based roast comedy, has led to several controversies. In 2021, he was dropped by his agency and lost multiple endorsements after using an anti-Asian slur against an opening Chinese American comedian during his set. In October 2024, the Donald Trump campaign invited him to perform a set at a rally at Madison Square Garden, during which he made a widely criticized joke about Puerto Rico.
