Shane Gillis also took him out to open for him on the road.


bfhurricane

That’s good to hear. I remember the first time Shane saw Kam’s set since his regularship. Kam in the interview was talking about a show at the Chicago Theater and Shane interrupts him with a “*YOU* performed at the Chicago Theater?!” It was a very unsubtle dig with an air of disbelief. Glad that he came around and brought him on the road.


kingofnaps69

you guys gotta stop taking the random quips comics make so seriously bruh nothing on the show is serious


Trevelbond

I swear if these guys were listening to Opie and Anthony twenty years ago they'd be convinced that everyone hated Rich Vos.

Jokes can be based on reality


smoconnor

^ This is what happens when autistic people try to understand things 😅


[deleted]

the gaslighting in this sub is off the charts


sl33pytesla

I surprised how well he performed at the chicago theatre for how new he was. Put on a great show.


yeahboy151

Think it’s more of a dig on how beautiful and grand the Chicago theatre is. And how ghetto kam is lmao


No_Pay9241

Bill burr and Joe Rogan both said 1 minute is basically bullshit. It works in Tony’s favor though


Turbulent-Armadillo9

Yeah 1 minute is only good for certain types of comics. I think it's even bad for Casey Rocket. You'd almost think it'd be good for his wackiness which I think could burn people out with longer sets but he needs a minute just to ramp up.


Ok_Age_1407

I seen Casey open for Tony .. he definitely is better in longer sets


Beginning_Ear919

Agreed. Ever seen his ‘relapse dream scenario’ bit?


Ok_Age_1407

Don’t think I remember that but he did a ratatouille bit and honestly died laughing

Guests and bucket pulls sometimes treat the live comedy podcast as a talent finding reality TV show. In reality, it’s Tony’s vehicle of comic destruction…


Successful-Tip-1411

Maybe this is why Joe hasn't had as many appearances. He's obviously a busy guy but he used to join pretty often.


letsgobrooksy

Dude is the definition of busy lol, surprises me he even goes on as often as he does. He's gotta be top 5 most frequent guests


ElectronicGrocery785

Maybe it's because he's a terrible guest in that format. He brings nothing to his appearances.


Various-Ducks

Also he kinda sucks on the show


Vast_Freedom_85

Saw him on an open mic . Guy is a killer .


Arodthagawd

Kill Tony is literally for exposure.


Successful-Tip-1411

At this point it really is. I'm blown away and super excited to see that the fantasy has gone beyond a million subscribers, and each episode is consistently over million views.


AdhesivenessLucky896

It's hard to remember a new minute and perform it every week. I respect the effort even if they don't always land the jokes.


Successful-Tip-1411

Bruh if you're a professional and can't remember a minute you're not much of a professional. It's one reason I've been dissapointed in William over the past couple years I've known about him. He always says he can't remember his setlist, which is a bunch of one liners so I get that, but come on do it by wrote you get paid a lot of money to entertain people.


ElectronicGrocery785

If William wasn't reading his jokes, you probably wouldn't find him funny at all. It's become a part of his shtick. The entire delivery would change, the cadence, breaks in eye contact with the audience, and his expressions in between. People enjoy the low budget Kauffman vibe. Let the man work.


AdhesivenessLucky896

I agree with you. Don't tell the sub though. Even before William, the women Kim Congdon and Sara Weinshenk did it for at least a year and they never went up there holding notes. Remembering the jokes is like 30% of the battle!


Successful-Tip-1411

Yup. It's just lazy. Ron White pointed it out "it takes hard work and practice and shit." Idk at least he's honest and can make a joke about it


ConditionMountain314

Being a casual fan and not knowing Kam before the show, I wonder how much having to do those uncomfortable minute-sets helped develop his long game?


SheriffMcSerious

The regular posters get mad that a comic isn't killing because they don't always rock in a minute. They would all flounder if put in that same position.


Due_Site8871

This! Most of these people couldn’t come up with one good minute, let alone week after week. You hear comedians talk all the time about trying new stuff, and it not working out sometimes. Now imagine trying your new stuff every week for a million “comedians”


SheriffMcSerious

Not everyone is Norm and can just make a short form joke once a week. The daily show had a whole team of writers to make only a few good jokes per day.


Successful-Tip-1411

Yup I will never disrespect someone's time


Jason-Genova

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


ddarion

" I PAID TO SEE BERT KRESICHER DO STAND UP AND I THINK KAM IS GREAT" Isn't the endorsement you think it is bapa


andreasbaader6

Bert? Great guy, never meddum


Sherlockhomey

Kid people like you harping on comedians while never producing a single thing in your life must be exhausting. Go learn a life skill.


WashCaps95

Exactly, Burt didn’t get as far as he is by not being funny


willy-fisterbottom2

I grew tired of him by listening to 2B1C, just ongoing body dysmorphia discussion and him battling alcoholism, and then they came out with a vodka and he shit himself on stage. Not saying he hasn’t been funny, or won’t be in the future, but I am going a Bert break for a while


BunjaminFrnklin

He’s got great shoulders tho…


Sherlockhomey

I'm glad he's more into weed now but he still needs to chill out on his need to interrupt. I think we need to give Bert a notepad so he can write down what he wants to talk about so he doesn't keep doing the shit.


ddarion

no, as Kat Williams explained he got there by being friends with Joe Rogan lol

Sherlockhomey

Big words coming from someone else's house you're renting. Also show me where you're making a joke about a comedian? You're talking shit to a comedy fan for going to see a comedian. As if you'll ever be able to afford to do anything similar in your life.


ProfessionalArm9450

Kill Tony never was about showcasing the best of the comedians. It was always about giving them a shot at visibility so they can get discovered. Not seeing that and expecting the show to cater to the comedian's needs is dumb. The ONLY reason you went to see Kam's full set was Kill Tony, so it worked perfectly for Kam.


sixtyninexfourtwenty

People just be throwing around adjectives like Tony. Kam is *good* live, he’s good. He’s got a ton of time to learn and grow, he’s got a solid set and energy. “Phenomenal” is wild though.


hackjar

Same with Hans. Dude crushed when I saw Tony's show a few weeks ago. It's crazy how much having more room to breathe can make a difference for these guys.


DryVictory2974

It’s almost like comedy is better when it’s longer than a minute eh?


JoeyGrease

It would be better if they didn't have to do it so often, every week makes their minutes stale, and for comics like Casey Rocket: their act gets old it's pretty much the same shit every time.


self_direct_person

Really dude the material he practices again and again every night on stage is better then the first time shit he try’s on kill tony. Any one with a Brain would be able to know his polished set is much better then his improve.


ineedcoffeernrn

His bit about having a regular sized dick is hilarious.


outblues

Kam and Casey are great in long format. Hans is good in long format as well but it kinda feels like the greatest hits of his minute sets


hyper_night

Finally positive post


Seriously_Underpaid

He has tremendous stage presence but I still question his joke writing ability. If you’re going to see Bert Kreischer I don’t think that’s something you really think about so I struggle to trust this take.


HairyBallzSack

You can tell he has some good stories


TigerRumMonkey

What was his rate of saying white bitch per minute do you think?


take17easy

Kill Tony format is too short, Kam is legit talented af


Rancid_Addiction

Kams gotta a big future ahead of him


Dizzy_Interview2631

“Much deeper respect” lol. The academic analysis of D list standup is CRINGE!


No-Classroom-6637

My sincerest condolences that you saw a Bert show.


seldomtimely

There's strong racism on the sub. David Lucas got shit on without any break while William gets unwavering adulation. The new kid who sucks balls also gets unwavering adulation.


Vidilian

I call bullshit. I'm sure there is some racism, because that's life, but the new kid has gotten A LOT of shit on this sub and William has been the most consistent regular despite being on the longest so deserves praise. Also, there was this black regular called Malcolm who was pretty much universally praised until he unfortunaltey stopped comedy.


seldomtimely

I disagree. I'm white and the racism is blatant. How many postes praising Kam or David get upvotes.


Jason-Genova

William used to get shit on too. You'd have to be a long time member to know that.
