If you have ever screamed at your phone watching some unknown comic get pulled from the bucket, sweated through your shirt during a Hans Kim battle, or quoted a Kill Tony bit so deep that your coworkers slowly backed away, this one is for you. The #1 live podcast on the planet is sending three of its heaviest hitters straight to downtown Evansville.

David Lucas, Hans Kim, and Dedrick Flynn are bringing Killers of Kill Tony to the Victory Theatre on August 13, and no, this is not a podcast taping. This is the full standup, full sets, no one-minute clock, no Tony cutting anyone off mid-punchline. Just three Mothership regulars, 1,950 seats, and one very loud Thursday on Main Street. Let's get into it.

Kill Tony started in 2013 in a back room at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Twelve people in the audience. Barely anyone watching. Fast-forward twelve years and 765-plus Monday-night episodes, and it is the #1 live comedy podcast in the world, recorded at the Comedy Mothership in Austin (yes, the club Joe Rogan built), pulling roughly 3 million downloads every single week. Not bad for a bucket of names.

Picture the chaos of Kill Tony, then take off the timer. Killers of Kill Tony pulls the fan-favorite regulars out of the Comedy Mothership in Austin and turns them loose on full-length sets across the country. No bucket. No one-minute buzzer. No Brian Redban yelling in the background. Just three comics who earned their seat at the #1 live podcast in the world, doing the long, filthy, fully-cooked material they never get to stretch out on the show.

• David Lucas, a self-proclaimed Kill Tony Hall of Famer out of Macon, GA, has shared stages with Joe Rogan, Louis C.K., Bert Kreischer, and DL Hughley. He went from MTV "Yo Momma" to one of the most feared crowd-workers in the game, and he will find you in the third row.
• Hans Kim has 164 Kill Tony episodes, opening slots for Joe Rogan and Tony Hinchcliffe, and a New Year's Eve 2023 "career battle" against Ric Diez that fans still argue about online. Cult hero status: confirmed.
• Dedrick Flynn, aka "The Dark Storm," signed up 39 times before his name finally got pulled, then became a full-time regular on his very first appearance. 148K Instagram followers, a Netflix moment, and an Evansville stop that lets you say you saw him before he blew all the way up.

Evansville does not get this kind of show every day. Acts off the Kill Tony roster usually mean a road trip to Nashville, Indy, or Louisville and a hotel you will regret. Three of them, one stage, downtown, on a Thursday? That does not happen here. Until now.

Expect filthy. Expect fast. Expect a roast to come flying out of nowhere the second you make eye contact from the front row. These guys do not workshop, they detonate. And because these are full sets instead of the one-minute Kill Tony sprint, you finally get the bits, the tangents, and the slow-burn crowd work that the timer never lets them finish. If you watch the show, this is the version you have been waiting for.

The Victory sits dead center downtown at 600 Main Street, which means you do not plan your night around the show. The show just slots into the night. Here is the move.

🍴 Dinner first: Hit Samuels, a short walk from the lobby. Real downtown menu, sharp service, and you roll into the Victory without ever touching the Lloyd.

🍹 Drinks after: Stroll over to Tiki on Main once the lights come up. Great drinks, downtown buzz, and a full debrief on whose set went the hardest. The perfect after-show landing strip.

The whole show runs on one beautiful little ritual: Tony reaches into the bucket, pulls a name, and somebody's entire night changes in a heartbeat. Well, Evansville, the bucket just called you. Lucas, Kim, and Flynn are bringing the long sets they never get to finish on the podcast, the Victory is throwing open all 1,950 of its historic seats, and the building that gave this town its first talking picture in 1928 is about to host the loudest one in its life. Tickets are moving. The group chat already knows. So grab your seats, warm up your laugh, and get ready. Let's laugh. Let's roast. Let's Kill Tony.
