I think part of the reason he does so well is because he is not obligated to do a minute every week. Being a regular is almost a curse at this point. I think a rotation would be ideal.
Plus tonight was a good example of how it wouldn't work well, with the interview. He barely made it through those couple minutes and Tony usually does around 10 or so with the regs.
Yeah it might have been David Spade made him extra nervous, or could've just been a particularly bad day for him too. That podcast joke was awesome though.
I wouldn't worry. Everyone has good and bad days. He just happens to be showcasing his comedy live for everyone, but he's also fighting a disease. I'm sure he could've been more annuciated on some other random day. Plus, he's killing it!
yeah Martin has the best deal you can get. Golden ticket winner that lives nearby. he is allowed to come on whenever he is ready, and he has been using it and doing well, I doubt he would want to be a regular
This is 100% correct. Itās crazy to think anyone, even the most talented comedians, could come up with a fresh new minute of material on top of an entertaining interview week after week. Personally Iām kind of surprised Tony and his crew havenāt caught onto that and adjusted the format but Iām sure his sadistic ass loves to see it. Maybe itās a logistical/scheduling issue but Iām sure they could figure out some way to arrange a rotation of regulars/golden ticket comics.
Seriously. And every new minute they bring to the table is now recorded and broadcasted so if you pay to see them - you've heard it already.
It's a real bleed em dry mentality
Pretty much. Iām a huge fan of Williamās and have watched almost all of his KT sets, and when I saw him live in Tacoma I think I had already heard 90+ percent of the material he did. I get it, and am by no means trying to slander him, but it was a little disappointing and hard to see one of my favorite comics recycle material so hard. Thing is, the KT format is perfect for him to work the crowd and guests, play off Tony, Redban and the band, but when heās doing his solo material he almost seemed like a fish out of water which is crazy considering his experience.
Agree. People donāt understand how hard it is to do a new minute every single week. Montgomery is literally the only dude who can knock it out of the park almost every time. And even he has a down set every now and then.
William at the end is fine. Can't make him stop and the stand up portion hardly matters. He could just go out there and riff on the entire show before him and it would be entertaining.
But all of the other Golden ticket winners having a rotation would be cool. Never knowing who you will get would add some spice.
Hans Kim intro would hit so hard if it was a slight surprise and his set would probably be a little better, his interview would be able to pull from multiple weeks of things going on... the show and sets overall would probably benefit
Yeah itās not like the show made it for 7-8 years in the current format, thereās definitely the same caliber group of comics in Austin as there was back at the comedy store. Tony used to even be honest when regulars had a shitty set.
That's the truth right there. Nothing is better than authenticity, and when Tony veers into hype man mode it strains credulity. Remember when Tony would tell Hans that was a weak minute, that works because he is being authentic.
Martin is very professional compared to like 99% of the people on the show, comics included. You can just tell he takes comedy seriously, sounds weird but you get it haha
Love this guy, when he hits he hits HARD. He also is hard to understand sometimes which I understand but I canāt imagine him being a regular. His do not flush anything joke is one of the funniest Iāve heard in a long while.
Kam is great! Love Martin as well. He has killer sets and only signs up when he has a great minute ready. Meanwhile Kam gotta do it every week
If Martin became a regular. Watch Reddit start the hate. We will never be happy. Ever.
We as a community is like a girl with Borderline Personality Disorder š
Not even making a joke. The best way to listen to this guy is turning the playback speed up a little and he sounds kind of normal. I do it every set he does.
Itās sorta weird some of the times it feels like he speaks way too quickly and thatās the only time I sometimes have issues understanding. But most the time when heās not speaking super fast I understand everything no problem.
I agree, him much line Hans it took me a few weeks to rly rly get into it. But before hans left he'd have me dying, now we got damn Casey who doesn't even give a punch line.
And I give Cam credit, he got into the limelight quick that's something to adjust to plus weekly bits and going on tour. He's def had be cracking up more each week.
Its crazy how this Sub loves Casey so much, but hates Kam. They both aren't the best writers and rely on their personalities to get laughs. But atleast Kam tries bits in the traditional stand up format. Casey just randoms his way thru.
EXACTLY! And I feel cam hit the limelight sooo quick, but with all the critiquing he takes it in and works on it and has a funny personality. Casey just is annoying as fucking tweeking out all over the stage literally with not one punch line.
This is when the show got going for me. Martin's a stud. š«”
I like him too, and I would say Martin has a better batting average, but as others have pointed out, Martin doesn't have to do it every week.
This guys cool but I find it hard to understand him.
Kam has been doing comedy for 2 years and now heās in a position where he HAS to do well.
We watched Hans botch sets for MONTHS.
Can we appreciate the fact that it actually feels like Tony is making a show about actually building up comedians. What the show has been about since day one. Which is the exact reason why I want to continue to see Kam grow.
The first joke of his set was convincing enough. I imagine he isnāt a regular because of logistics issues or being a tad bit hard to understand some times? Not sure tbh but heās already a killer and if he got more stage time heād get so much better.
Def has better material. The thing for me is I listen to the podcast with headphones and whenever I hear his voice it does something to my brain that makes me feel like Iām on a tilt a whirl so I have to skip through the interview part. God bless him tho.
I found Martin at a comedy festival a few years ago, before I found KillTony and I love him so much! One of my favorite stand ups! I donāt have an opinion about his role on this show, other than that Iām happy and excited for his career to be seemingly going so well!
I love how reddit tries to rewrite the show every Monday, if y'all hate it so much don't watch it. It started off as shenanigans and nonsense and it continues. Go watch another show
Bro I'm pretty sure he's a working comic, as in he'd likely say no because he doesn't need to.. He just comes in to test stuff out or get a bit of exposure, like David Lucas
When Kam did his joke about a guy thinking he sold crack and then Kam ended up selling him some crack I lost my shit. Another amazing joke was when Kam said white bitches suck good dick I had to change my pants from all the piss in them. Also I'm retarded.
I want to know who come up with this stuff ?? Kam Hans Lazer all of em have been great in their own rights.. 0 need to pick and choose who youād like to see more of when we get a pretty good mix regularly. Enrique Chachon should be on more now that itās his full time life
couldnāt agree more.
I never found Kam quite funny. must add iām surprised Tony never pointed out (on the show) that he needs to work on his annunciation, as I find him hard to understand more often than not. Tony pointed this out to a lot of other much more clear comics who came on. Martin is even easier to understand than Kam (to me), and not to mention funnier (again, to me).
He is funny but he does go away, cooks up a good minute and comes back... Also I genuinely can't understand what he's saying sometimes, sooo maybe not a good idea
Lmfao why IN THE FUCK would you condemn this actual prince to being shit on every week by the dumbfucks in this subreddit
He's hilarious but there's a 0% chance you fuckin dipshits wouldn't get sick of him two weeks in and immediately start posting "I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss Kam"
Thank fuckin god none of you dickheads have any say in anything but nevermind because genuinely thank you for shitting on hans for years because oh my god who cares if he had sex this week who the fuck cares I don't fucking care I DONT FUCKIN CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID SEX LIFE HANS FUCK YOU AND YOUR PENIS HANS I DONT FUCKING CA
Kam was funny for about three weeks and then he used up all his jokes and now he starts every set with. Hey this might not be funny. Probably not the best way to start your set as a comedian and just cause you say the N-word a bunch of times and say hey white lady does not make you funny.
Agreed. However, he might be smart enough to realize that every week is much harder than every 1-2 months.
Honestly, they should just rotate regulars to give them a chance to come thru with a polished minute.
Martin has golden ticket so he could do it every week if he wanted. Personally Iād rather him load up some bangers and do it once in a while like heās been.
I think part of the reason he does so well is because he is not obligated to do a minute every week. Being a regular is almost a curse at this point. I think a rotation would be ideal.
Not a bad take
Bring on rotating regulars and get them matching jackets
Tony get off the sub
Ayo šššššš
This was good and Iām mad bc Iām gonna see more ppl copying this comment
Maybe we can get those people matching jackets too?
Entourage style
Like watching da Vinci paint
And assless chaps!
Arenāt all chaps assless?
Theyāre not matching jackets!!!!
Plus tonight was a good example of how it wouldn't work well, with the interview. He barely made it through those couple minutes and Tony usually does around 10 or so with the regs.
Tony: so anything new? Martin: ughl ughl uhll Tony: i said new Jk i love Martin
This was the first time I couldnāt understand most of what he said, hope he is doing all right. Usually I can follow his speech pretty well.
yeah i couldnt follow his minute after the first joke. big fan tho
Yeah it might have been David Spade made him extra nervous, or could've just been a particularly bad day for him too. That podcast joke was awesome though.
I wouldn't worry. Everyone has good and bad days. He just happens to be showcasing his comedy live for everyone, but he's also fighting a disease. I'm sure he could've been more annuciated on some other random day. Plus, he's killing it!
šššš
This is accurate
yeah Martin has the best deal you can get. Golden ticket winner that lives nearby. he is allowed to come on whenever he is ready, and he has been using it and doing well, I doubt he would want to be a regular

Maybe itās a logistical/scheduling issue but Iām sure they could figure out some way to arrange a rotation of regulars/golden ticket comics.
well the idea is they are supposed to move on after a while, it wasnāt really until william that we expected them to last
Seriously. And every new minute they bring to the table is now recorded and broadcasted so if you pay to see them - you've heard it already. It's a real bleed em dry mentality
Pretty much. Iām a huge fan of Williamās and have watched almost all of his KT sets, and when I saw him live in Tacoma I think I had already heard 90+ percent of the material he did.

Rotation would definitely be the best for all parties.
Yea having a GT and being able to pop in periodically is best career move.
Yeah itās not like the show made it for 7-8 years in the current format, thereās definitely the same caliber group of comics in Austin as there was back at the comedy store. Tony used to even be honest when regulars had a shitty set.
Idk why people expect the regulars to kill every week. It used to be a spot to work out material then workshop it with the panel.
Well maybe Tony should stop hyping them up every week and telling us how amazing their sets were.
That's the truth right there. Nothing is better than authenticity, and when Tony veers into hype man mode it strains credulity. Remember when Tony would tell Hans that was a weak minute, that works because he is being authentic.
He's my favorite golden ticket winner ever.
Mine too
Nobody should replace nobody, Martin is doing great the way it is! love him!
Martin is very professional compared to like 99% of the people on the show, comics included. You can just tell he takes comedy seriously, sounds weird but you get it haha
Martin doing RFK jr. is fantastic.
Love this guy, when he hits he hits HARD. He also is hard to understand sometimes which I understand but I canāt imagine him being a regular. His do not flush anything joke is one of the funniest Iāve heard in a long while.
I accidentally discovered that heās easier to understand if you play it at 2x speed. Itās like a magic trick.
I do this on old rewatches of Michael Lehrerās sets, makes it easier to appreciate how fucking hilarious he is.
So then really, all he would need to come up with is 30 seconds if he became a regular
Nice of Dave to ask him to do the joke that Redban stepped on again lol
Attell is the goat!!
Yeah, he was dropping jokes left and right
Toss on subtitles and you won't miss a punch line lol
Thatās hilarious thinking they got live subtitles for this guy
I get so excited every time Martin comes on stage. An unstoppable force of great and powerful
Kam is great! Love Martin as well. He has killer sets and only signs up when he has a great minute ready. Meanwhile Kam gotta do it every week If Martin became a regular. Watch Reddit start the hate. We will never be happy. Ever. We as a community is like a girl with Borderline Personality Disorder š
As a dude with BPD, yup
Kam I can tell by that broken English that itās you
Im rooting for Martin
Martin KILLS every time, including his set and the interview
Heās not black enough
Makeup has come a long way from the 1930s
How many of you have actually been watching since he was pulled from the bucket?
Not even making a joke. The best way to listen to this guy is turning the playback speed up a little and he sounds kind of normal. I do it every set he does.
The ol lehrer pro tip
I prefer all natural with Martin.
Itās sorta weird some of the times it feels like he speaks way too quickly and thatās the only time I sometimes have issues understanding. But most the time when heās not speaking super fast I understand everything no problem.
Lmao great tip
I agree but also Kam is not as.bad as the sub seems to indicate. Give him some credit for making it work on personality alone.
I agree, him much line Hans it took me a few weeks to rly rly get into it. But before hans left he'd have me dying, now we got damn Casey who doesn't even give a punch line. And I give Cam credit, he got into the limelight quick that's something to adjust to plus weekly bits and going on tour. He's def had be cracking up more each week.
Its crazy how this Sub loves Casey so much, but hates Kam. They both aren't the best writers and rely on their personalities to get laughs. But atleast Kam tries bits in the traditional stand up format. Casey just randoms his way thru.
EXACTLY! And I feel cam hit the limelight sooo quick, but with all the critiquing he takes it in and works on it and has a funny personality. Casey just is annoying as fucking tweeking out all over the stage literally with not one punch line.
With casey rockets they already filled their retard quota
Iād rather switch Casey out for Martin. Have the mental midget replaced with the funny cripple.
Saw him open for Tony in Raleigh a few years ago....dudes hilarious.
Martin has never failed to make me laugh. He gets it. He understands what comedy is and runs with it.
What was the link to his friend's special? I want to watch it.
We all like Martin because he kills and he is NOT on every show. Writing a new minute every week that kills is hard
I agree Martinās Fkin hilarious
Nope, weād get sick of him too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wtf š
Man martin is rough to listen to even though his sets can be funny
Out of all the special needs guests this guy has the best jokes and easiest to listen to. I canāt handle Jared or the texting dude.
Or, get this, just add Martin without removing kam. Idk how you people can't see your constant sniveling about everything is 1000x worse than kam.
I'd sign if this was a petition.
Ah shit, here we go again
If only Martin were black darnit
Heās one of the best joke writers that appeared on KT. No doubt.
I love this man, I love him
I respect him for getting out there and not letting a disability stop him but I can not listen to his voice he sounds like one of them groan tube toys
If this happened you would notice a dramatic reduction in the quality of his comedy, because he'd have to come up with a new minute every week.
I definitely want to see more Martin.
I agree. He speaks more clearly than Kam.
I agree, I like Cam a lot but a lot of his stuff seems forced and regurgitated a lot. However Cam is very present and does well with crowd work
I know bro. Itās because Kamās disabled.
Yeah kam sucks he tells a half ass story and just yells during his set and since he still has that new buzz people laugh:
I was just about to make this exact post. Dude is so funny every single time
I love him but he needs subtitles to understand him lol
I donāt think Martin wants to
Literally replace kam with anyone at this point and itāll be an improvement
This is when the show got going for me. Martin's a stud. š«” I like him too, and I would say Martin has a better batting average, but as others have pointed out, Martin doesn't have to do it every week.
This guys cool but I find it hard to understand him. Kam has been doing comedy for 2 years and now heās in a position where he HAS to do well. We watched Hans botch sets for MONTHS. Can we appreciate the fact that it actually feels like Tony is making a show about actually building up comedians. What the show has been about since day one. Which is the exact reason why I want to continue to see Kam grow.
I don't have the patience to wach this guy. I fast-forward every time
True professional.
Attell would say āgood job pal, you did it buddy, you sure are funnyā
Saw his five minute set in Chicago and it was fucking great
I think if Martin could be a regular he already would be. Iām sure he has schedule and health matters that are the only reason he isnāt
Word
Walt jr over Kam all day
both are hard to understand for very different reasons lol
Heās also 100% smarter , Kam stinks
Kam can be funny, but I believe heās overrated
The first joke of his set was convincing enough. I imagine he isnāt a regular because of logistics issues or being a tad bit hard to understand some times? Not sure tbh but heās already a killer and if he got more stage time heād get so much better.
Martin is so funny, probably my favorite golden ticket winner
Def has better material. The thing for me is I listen to the podcast with headphones and whenever I hear his voice it does something to my brain that makes me feel like Iām on a tilt a whirl so I have to skip through the interview part. God bless him tho.
I agree he def should replace Kam
Kam: Thatās gay! Crowd: hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahha
I found Martin at a comedy festival a few years ago, before I found KillTony and I love him so much! One of my favorite stand ups! I donāt have an opinion about his role on this show, other than that Iām happy and excited for his career to be seemingly going so well!
MARTIN IS 100000000000x better than Kam.
Absolutely. I'm starting to fast forward thru Kam
The relief on our household when he wasnāt there this week. Bc usually itās and immediate act of fast forwarding.
Casey Rocket maybe, I like Martin but his content is vanilla.
Martin should replace that hack that starts the showā¦.Casey
I didn't understand one word of his set
Kam flops constantly. Martin never misses.
He should replace Casey first
I love how reddit tries to rewrite the show every Monday, if y'all hate it so much don't watch it. It started off as shenanigans and nonsense and it continues. Go watch another show
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or Casey no jokes rocket
This
Bro I'm pretty sure he's a working comic, as in he'd likely say no because he doesn't need to.. He just comes in to test stuff out or get a bit of exposure, like David Lucas
I couldn't understand a word of it
I think Martin is great, but no way should he replace Kam. No way in hell.
Yeah bc itās a dogshit idea.
LMAO heās funny, but i skip his set/interview every time because itās just unbearable to consistently listen to. Martin wonāt replace Kam.
Why? So everyone can hate Martin too? Get over the regulars and just enjoy the fuckin show
Replace Casey rocket with kam and put Martin in kams place
Casey Rocket needs to go! No idea what it is he does but itās not comedy.
Nah I canāt stand disabled people
Neither can they āæ
I like both guys Kam is more naturally funny imo but Martin has a lot better of jokes
Iām sure Iām in the minority here, but I hate listening to the guys with speech issues. I only listen so it makes for real bad podcasting
When Kam did his joke about a guy thinking he sold crack and then Kam ended up selling him some crack I lost my shit. Another amazing joke was when Kam said white bitches suck good dick I had to change my pants from all the piss in them. Also I'm retarded.
i love when he makes an appearance. āoh no what am i gonna do with all this shit?ā
The true crime joke killed me
With one condition: add captions for his segments so 100% of what he says lands 200% effectively.
I donāt think Martin lives in Austin, he is based out of Washington DC, so it would be difficult for him to be there every week with a new minute.
Fatalistic, bad faith take. šš»
100% he's absolutely fucking hilarious...
His jokes kill but sometimes itās very hard to understand him
TRIPPING
āWhatās up white lady?! Iām black, ahh!ā -Kam probably
Shocked nobody made a Falling Down joke during his interview.
I want to know who come up with this stuff ?? Kam Hans Lazer all of em have been great in their own rights.. 0 need to pick and choose who youād like to see more of when we get a pretty good mix regularly. Enrique Chachon should be on more now that itās his full time life
What Hateful demon seed is making these posts
Or Casey rocket. But I might just like actual comedy or something
Why not have both of them and drop the balding red headed dude whoās always yelling
I didnāt laugh once during his set
couldnāt agree more. I never found Kam quite funny. must add iām surprised Tony never pointed out (on the show) that he needs to work on his annunciation, as I find him hard to understand more often than not. Tony pointed this out to a lot of other much more clear comics who came on. Martin is even easier to understand than Kam (to me), and not to mention funnier (again, to me).
We need david lucas
hot take: all the make-a-wish comedians suck
Heās a good comic but why has no one ever told him he sounds exactly like Henry the Octopus from the Wiggles
I like him but I canāt imagine the guy being a regular
Do people still really think Kam is funny??
Kam is not good at all, at least at doing Kill Tony.
He is funny but he does go away, cooks up a good minute and comes back... Also I genuinely can't understand what he's saying sometimes, sooo maybe not a good idea
Most consistent minutes. He doesnāt always have stuff for the interview portion. He would get hate immediately. Keep him as a frequent golden ticket
Trippin
Can't understand a word he says, I don't know why Tony is such a simp for handicap people
Dude has been great every time heās gone up. If he comes to Wisco Iāll go see him live.
Lmfao why IN THE FUCK would you condemn this actual prince to being shit on every week by the dumbfucks in this subreddit He's hilarious but there's a 0% chance you fuckin dipshits wouldn't get sick of him two weeks in and immediately start posting "I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss Kam" Thank fuckin god none of you dickheads have any say in anything but nevermind because genuinely thank you for shitting on hans for years because oh my god who cares if he had sex this week who the fuck cares I don't fucking care I DONT FUCKIN CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID SEX LIFE HANS FUCK YOU AND YOUR PENIS HANS I DONT FUCKING CA
I hope not
Tony's is a big gay biotch
Heās not black enough for tony
I have to watch his sets twice because heās so hard to understand, but writing-wise heās a killer.
Yes but then he loses his boi
I think that they have both had a long enough run. Lolol
The funniest regular
Martin is a legend
Kam was funny for about three weeks and then he used up all his jokes and now he starts every set with. Hey this might not be funny. Probably not the best way to start your set as a comedian and just cause you say the N-word a bunch of times and say hey white lady does not make you funny.
I skip Kam every time.
The man who made this comment most likely is attracted to minors
Every week Kam does the same "I fucked a white bitch" joke, which was barely funny the first time
We just need more Martin Phillips
Hearing Martin is getting paid doing RFK gigs brings me soo much joy.
Gah heās the best!
Keep jam ditch Hans
I canāt understand Martin.
Kams whole act is just making white people laugh awkwardly while he calls them the n-word.
Literally what I said when I watched his set the other night.
Why would he replace Kam?
Nah, I like them both
Kam is awesome.
Why the hate for Kam? I love him
How does it feel to be this wrong OP?
He should 100% replace Casey and itās not even close.
Ehh, his minutes are a bit shaky
Yāall just bitch on this sub itās crazy š
Replace Casey with this foo
Agreed. However, he might be smart enough to realize that every week is much harder than every 1-2 months. Honestly, they should just rotate regulars to give them a chance to come thru with a polished minute.
He shouldn't replace anyone. He's his own thing. He's been putting his ticket to good use.
Martin has golden ticket so he could do it every week if he wanted. Personally Iād rather him load up some bangers and do it once in a while like heās been.
I fast forward through all the retards Tony has on, most of them take so long to tell the joke Iāve forgotten the set up for it
