KT #780

Opened the show as a regular who writes a new minute every week; introduced as the former 'Dark Storm of Atlanta, Georgia,' now of Austin, Texas. Minute was an argument that above-ground pools are superior to in-ground pools. In the interview he said he had known band member Teddy (the D Madness bandmate Tony calls 'Teddy Swims') for 17-18 years, and that he had lost his phone in an Uber in LA and could not buy a replacement because his card was on the missing phone.

Material was built on his appearance - he was born with Crouzon syndrome (heard as 'Cruzon syndrome'), first bucket pull of the night and his Kill Tony debut. Seven years in comedy, all of it in the LA area; now lives in Las Vegas and drove down just to sign up, recently married to a comedian/actress from Spain, tony praised him as unusually polished and offered him an automatic spot on any Monday Kill Tony at the Comedy Mothership.

Material was a J.C. Penney bit, tony walked him through why the room turned on him, then cut him off mid-attempt at his closer (a San Diego PD ketamine-dart joke), bucket pull who bombed hard - the loudest booing of the night, one year in comedy, out of San Diego, performing two or three times a week, and about to move to LA full-time (which drew more booing).

Opened with a dark tag about a comedian who had recently died by suicide, then Netflix content-warning jokes and a long closing story about feuding with his Beverly Hills neighbor's wife over a stolen newspaper and a patio umbrella blocking her Century City view, lEGENDS BUCKET pull - the Legends Bucket's first-ever LA appearance (previously four times at MSG and once at the Moody Center), introduced as the man who convinced Joe Rogan and many others to move to Austin.

First mic was in Seattle, where his transgender joke got booed. Panel was impressed by his poise; Harland Williams roasted him relentlessly as a 'Just For Men' hair-color model. Bucket pull performing only his SECOND open mic ever, and he had to follow Ron White. He spelled the surname out on mic himself as roughly R-I-G-E-L / R-I-G-O-L, so the caption spelling 'Regal' is wrong. A certified public accountant who does tax returns. Said he had watched the show since the Vulcan Gas Company days.

Adam Ray, in character as Tony Hinchcliffe, performed a long roast set on the KT regulars (Dedric Flynn, Timmy No Brakes, Redban, Ari Matti) and on 'himself,' then took the empty third MDC seat and stayed on the panel for the rest of the episode, with Tony repeatedly addressing him as 'me.' LEGENDS BUCKET pull, announced as 'Tony Hinchcliffe' - it was Adam Ray performing in full character as Tony, a prank the room only had confirmed at the end of the show when Tony said 'believe it or not, this is Adam Ray.' Named in the episode title as a guest, but unlike the other guests he did a full set.

Bucket pull (number four), a little person, five and a half years in comedy. Minute was about being married ten years to a woman taller than him. Stay-at-home dad with six dogs and six cats, living on an allowance from his wife, who works in pharmaceuticals; they met on the Radio City Christmas Spectacular where he was a workshop elf. Full-time actor with credits in two Rob Zombie movies and horror films including Candy Corn, and he says he was the first little-person professional skateboarder. Surname spelling is the weakest in this file - captions only ever gave 'Mhler.'

Material was about being told he resembles a lesbian George Lopez and about being asked what kind of Mexican he was growing up in small-town Minnesota. Tony brought the same audience woman back up to make out with him too; he visibly pulled away mid-kiss and got roasted for it on replay, bucket pull, three years in comedy out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Works as a metrologist for a pharmaceutical company ('I went from dealing drugs to making them'). Got on the show after opening for Lil Momo in St. Paul, surname heard only as 'Oz'/'Ozz.'.

Set was about self-medicating after a breakup - lazy strippers who talk to him like a regular woman, then a long closing run on massage parlours and why the 60-minute is better value than the 30-minute, harland Williams followed with an escalating riff about reversing roles with a masseuse, lEGENDS BUCKET pull, introduced as a Kill Tony legend and the front-runner for 2026 guest of the year.

Makes his living as a musician - 21 years playing, sings and plays guitar with some reggae influence; sang a couple of original lines on mic at Tony's request and attempted his highest and lowest notes. Bucket pull, three and a half years in comedy, drove up from San Diego with friends (one of whom was also in the bucket), describes himself as a quarter black, a quarter Mexican and half white, about to give up his house, live in his car and move to New York for the trains. Volunteered that he is the person who gave Doug Stanhope ketamine at Skankfest, which Tony confirmed witnessing.

NOT a formal regular, golden ticket winner or Legends Bucket pull - Tony said so explicitly and booked her anyway as one of the funniest comics in Austin and LA, crediting her with maybe the most viral joke in the show's history (the wallet joke). Set was about Italians being more likable than Germans despite both having 'done a pretty bad thing,' and about an Indian ex-boyfriend and a body-wash prank, with the punchline that he never used it, while making her Intuit Dome debut. Tony called her a rising superstar.

Material on being called 'ma'am' and being cast as the next Bachelor. Not from the bucket - Tony spotted him in the crowd in a bow tie, liked the look and brought him up after he said he had a minute ready. Panel agreed nobody had ever gotten themselves on stage from the audience before, from Brooklyn, New York, 53 years old, 9 years in stand-up and about 40 in acting; born with panhypopituitarism, he also opens for Lil Momo (the second Lil Momo opener on the show that night), and friends gave him a ticket so he could try to sneak on, owns roughly 250 bow ties and 150 jackets.

Set was a sustained attack on sober people - that he only trusts alcoholics, that the sober guy with the water at the party is the rapist, with tags about P. Diddy and about Joe DeRosa's New Orleans story. In the interview he said he has gained 38 pounds in two years in America, and told a long story about discovering a porn shoot in the hotel room next door and what he did about it, introduced as 'the Estonian assassin.'. Tony held him up as the hardest-working writer on the show, having run into him writing by the hotel pool.

The room was cold on him; Tony gave him several chances to win the crowd back with a dirty-talk story before cutting him loose, and Gabriel Iglesias joked he had 'San Diego energy', bucket pull, seven to eight years in comedy, from Santa Ana / Orange County, now based in the Inland Empire and travelling into LA for comedy. Minute was about having a teen mom (she had him at 16) and not having to listen to a 16-year-old parent, makes beats for rappers as a music producer.

Then came the long-running roast rivalry with Harland Williams, which Tony scored as roughly 145 punches landed for Harland to 14 for Lucas; Lucas also roasted Tony, Adam Ray's Tony and Gabriel Iglesias. Introduced as a full-time former regular, a Kill Tony Hall of Famer and the best roaster in the show's history other than Tony, back in LA where his run started. Minute was on fat women having too much confidence and on loose skin after weight loss. Mentioned he had just wrapped his first feature, out in October, booked off the back of Kill Tony.

Minute was weed material - getting so high he thought he could see and running into a wall - plus a plunger-in-the-toilet closer, bucket pull who performs as 'Greg the Blind Man.', blind for 14 years from diabetes; about two and a half years in comedy, which he says pulled him out of the depression of going blind, based in Indio, California, married 34 years, three kids, a brand-new grandfather. Brought a gift for the band's blind keyboardist D Madness and Heidi walked the two of them together to shake hands on stage, which Tony called a magical moment.
