Lineup
- 1Yaqiao Yang5:35Golden Ticket
Material covered failed edible sales, lucid dreaming as a substitute for vacations, and a plan-B bit. In the interview she talked about a $60 haircut from an Uzbek barber in New York and was booked on the Thursday Secret Show. Announced as the night's golden ticket winner and opened the show uninterrupted; described by Tony as one of the greatest members of the Kill Tony production team.
- 2Remy Sweis?11:13Bucket Pull
First bucket pull of the night. Both parents are from Jordan; he was born and raised in Oklahoma City and splits his stage time between there and Austin, with four or five years in comedy. Drives for Uber, is starting to get booked at the Creek and the Cave, and runs the world's largest Milli Vanilli Facebook fan group at about 7,000 members.
- 3Lino Rodriguez19:36Bucket Pull
Upgraded to a big joke book. A returning bucket pull, not a first-timer, and Tony called it his best set on the show, describes himself as a club-foot Puerto Rican from Mississippi with four or five years in comedy. Works at the Vulcan Gas Company and sells weed out of a bus that was recently robbed; his father, whose name he carries, was murdered while he was still in the womb.
- 4Joe Hansen25:26Bucket Pull

- 5Sir Winston Pickles31:33Bucket Pull
Sir Winston Pickles performed in his evil-clown persona. Recurring evil-clown character introduced as a special treat with a brand new minute of dark one-liners about a deer, Christmas lights and luminol. In the interview he described spending his days in full makeup running errands, working out at Dick's Sporting Goods, a new rowing machine, and past stints at the DMV and doing DoorDash in character.
- 6Taylor Ferrer?37:33Bucket Pull
Roughly his tenth time ever on stage; he started just before the pandemic while in PA school, stopped, and restarted a couple of months ago. Lives in Miami and works as a physician assistant in an emergency room. Married to a woman he met in PA school who works in aesthetics; much of the interview turned into a medical Q&A with the panel.
- 7Michael Moses46:09Bucket Pull
First time on the show despite 13 years in standup, which Tony noted showed in his stage presence, canadian, born in Winnipeg and raised in a small town in southern Alberta before starting comedy out east in Toronto. Mixed race with a white mother and a black father who was killed at 37 during a clothing-store robbery. Runs a social media channel about ordering the same restaurant meal daily, and recently got engaged with a baby due in February.
- 8Dedrick Flynn55:03Regular
New minute about the ghetto stealing Christmas. Brought a slingshot and a laminated homemade permit on stage and fired a joke book into the crowd; mentioned a sold-out Christmas show at the Earl in Atlanta, introduced as a regular and 'the dark storm of Atlanta,' pulled out of the bucket only five or six weeks earlier.
- 9Lorenzo Tyree?1:02:20Bucket Pull
Bombed but was upgraded from a small to a medium joke book, while returning performer, 23 years old, two years into comedy, all of it in Austin. From Alaska with a Dominican father who fled there after scamming charges, was deported, and died of pneumonia a few months before the taping; his mother is a drug user. Works at a hemp shop and films himself giving homeless people haircuts.
- 10Buffy?1:12:27Bucket Pull
Lost the big joke book she had earned previously, while returning performer who had previously appeared around episode 743, visibly drunk after a vodka pitcher at Shakespeare's; blew a 0.15 on the show's breathalyzer, administered on stage with Officer Barbosa of the Austin Police Department present, a stunt driver by trade who saved up money to spend time in Austin.
- 11Liv Taylor1:29:38Bucket Pull
Already held a big joke book, while returning performer given the hard slot following the Ron White and Pauly Shore drop-ins. Works as a veterinary technician handling anesthesia; her mother was killed by a car and she is also a widow after her partner died in a car accident. Interview ran long on veterinary stories.
- 12Ian Sharp1:39:47Bucket Pull
Works IT tech support, plays D&D and paints miniatures, and was formerly the vocalist in a Christian metal band called With Faith or Flames, which he demonstrated on stage. Got a big joke book, final bucket pull of the night. Counts this as his first real appearance since his only prior slot was a turbo round. Fourteen years in standup out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and recently moved to Austin.
- 13William Montgomery1:47:17Regular
The interview centered on his history as a competitive cyclist and childhood fandom of panel guest Lance Armstrong, including that Armstrong never followed him back on Instagram. Closed the show as the all-time record holder for appearances and interviews and a Kill Tony Hall of Fame member, with a brand new minute of one-liners.
