If you have ever screamed at your phone watching some unknown comic get pulled from the bucket, sent a Kill Tony clip to your group chat at 1 AM with zero context, or quoted a David Lucas roast so deep at work that HR made a face, this show is for you. Three of the biggest names from the #1 live podcast on the planet are coming to the Victory Theatre on August 13, and downtown Evansville is about to enter its fully unhinged main character era.

David Lucas. Hans Kim. Dedrick Flynn. Full standup sets. No one-minute timer, no bucket clock, no Tony cutting anyone off mid-punchline. Just three Mothership regulars with 1,950 seats and one very loud Thursday on Main Street. This has the energy of a house party that somehow got a stage and a liquor license. 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. It had the energy of an open mic at a bowling alley. 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 show that's basically "pull a name from a bucket and see what happens."

Picture the chaos of Kill Tony, then rip the timer off the wall. Killers of Kill Tony pulls the fan-favorite regulars out of the Comedy Mothership in Austin and turns them loose for 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 that the show clock never lets them finish. This is the uncut version. And honestly? It goes harder.

• 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 standup. He looks like he'd beat you at dominoes and roast your outfit at the same time. And he will find you in the third row.
• Hans Kim has 164 Kill Tony episodes, opening slots for Rogan and Hinchcliffe, and a legendary New Year's Eve 2023 "career battle" against Ric Diez that fans still argue about in comment sections at 2 AM. Cult hero status: confirmed. Internet legend status: pending but likely.
• Dedrick Flynn, aka "The Dark Storm," signed up 39 times before his name finally got pulled from the bucket, 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. This is a "tell your friends later" situation.

Let's be real. Evansville does not normally pull touring acts off the Kill Tony roster. Acts from the Mothership orbit usually mean a road trip to Nashville, Indy, or Louisville, a hotel room you will regret, and a group chat argument about who's driving. Three of them, one stage, downtown, on a Thursday? That does not happen here. Until now. This is the kind of booking that makes other cities look at Evansville sideways like "wait, they got who?"

Expect filthy. Expect fast. Expect a roast to come flying out of nowhere the second you make eye contact from row five. These guys do not workshop material, they detonate it. And because these are full sets (not the one-minute Kill Tony sprint), you finally get the bits, the tangents, the slow-burn crowd work, the stuff the timer never lets them finish. If you have been watching the show and wondering what it would be like to see it live, this is that. Times three. With better bar options.

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

🍴 Dinner first: Hit Samuels a short walk from the Victory Theatre lobby, real downtown menu, sharp service, and you roll into the Victory without ever touching the Lloyd. This is the pre-game your Thursday deserves.

🍹 Drinks after: Stroll over to Tiki on Main once the lights come up. Great drinks, downtown vibes, and a full debrief on whose set went the hardest. You will have opinions. Strong ones. The tiki drinks will make them louder.

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, your name just got called. Lucas, Kim, and Flynn are bringing the full sets the podcast clock never lets them finish. The Victory is throwing open all 1,950 of its historic seats for a show it almost never gets. And the building that gave this town its first talking picture in 1928 is about to host the loudest one in its entire life. Tickets are moving. The group chat already knows. So grab your seats, text your people, and clear your Thursday. Let's laugh. Let's roast. Let's Kill Tony.
