Kill Tony Tickets 2026: The Ultimate Guide To Getting Seats For The Live Tour And Comedy Mothership
As of December 24, 2025, the demand for Kill Tony tickets has never been higher, with the show solidifying its status as the world’s number one live comedy podcast. Whether you are looking to catch Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Redban, and the regulars on their massive 2026 tour or trying to secure a seat for the notoriously difficult-to-get weekly show at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, TX, navigating the ticket landscape requires an insider's guide.
The good news is that the 2026 schedule is packed with major arena dates, offering more opportunities than ever to witness the "Bucket Pull" phenomenon live. However, for the weekly Monday night show, the process remains a challenge, often requiring vigilance and quick action. This comprehensive, up-to-date guide provides all the essential information—from tour venues and starting prices to the secret behind getting into the Austin home base.
Tony Hinchcliffe: The Architect of Chaos
Tony Hinchcliffe, the host and mastermind behind the Kill Tony podcast, is an internationally touring comedian and one of the world's top roasters. Born on June 8, 1984, in Youngstown, Ohio, Hinchcliffe has built a prolific career known for its sharp wit and edgy, dark humor.
Before launching Kill Tony in 2013, Hinchcliffe was a seasoned stand-up and writer, notably releasing his one-hour special, *One Shot*, on Netflix in 2016. His distinctive style and ability to instantly roast and interview aspiring comedians have made the podcast a cultural phenomenon. The show's co-host and producer, Brian Redban, is the other key figure in the *Kill Tony* universe, ensuring the unique, chaotic energy is captured perfectly.
The 2026 Kill Tony Live Tour: Dates, Venues, and Ticket Prices
The Kill Tony live tour is a high-energy, arena-sized version of the weekly podcast, often featuring the show's regulars and special celebrity guests. For 2026, the tour is hitting major venues across the US, with tickets already on sale.
Key 2026 Tour Dates and Venues
The following are some of the most anticipated dates for the 2026 tour, though fans should always check official ticketing sites like SeatGeek, StubHub, and Ticketmaster for the most current schedule.
- Wednesday, December 31, 2025 (New Year's Eve): Moody Center ATX, Austin, TX. (This is a huge end-of-year show).
- Saturday, February 28, 2026: Smart Financial Centre, Sugar Land, TX (Billed as "Kill Tony Presents Kill Texas").
- Saturday, March 28, 2026: Texas Trust CU Theatre, Grand Prairie, TX.
- Saturday, April 11, 2026: Majestic Theatre, San Antonio, TX (Billed as "Killers of Kill Tony").
Ticket Price Insights
Ticket prices for the live tour vary significantly based on the venue, seat location, and time of purchase. However, general admission tickets can often be found starting in the $51 to $76 range. Premium seats and VIP packages will naturally cost more, sometimes reaching several hundred dollars, especially for major events like the Moody Center show.
Pro Tip: Pay close attention to the event title. Shows like "Killers of Kill Tony" feature the show's popular regulars—such as Kam Patterson, David Lucas, Hans Kim, Ari Matti, and Martin Phillips—and may not include Tony Hinchcliffe or Brian Redban, so check the lineup details before purchasing.
The Holy Grail: Securing Tickets for the Weekly Comedy Mothership Show
The weekly Monday night taping of Kill Tony at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, TX, is the show's home base and the most sought-after ticket in comedy. The process for securing these seats is different from the major tour dates and requires constant vigilance.
The Mothership Ticket Release Strategy
Unlike regular weekly club shows, Kill Tony tickets at the Comedy Mothership are released in large batches only a few times a year—typically three to four times annually. The club does not maintain a consistent weekly release schedule.
- Follow the Source: The best way to know when a new block of tickets is about to drop is by closely following the official Instagram accounts for the Comedy Mothership, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Brian Redban. They will post an announcement a few days or a week before the ticket release.
- Be Ready to Act: When tickets are released, they sell out in minutes, if not seconds. Have your account logged in and payment information ready on the Mothership's website.
- Avoid Third-Party Sellers: The Comedy Mothership explicitly states that third-party tickets are never accepted. Only purchase tickets directly through the venue's official website to avoid scams.
The Infamous "Bucket Pull" Process
For aspiring comedians, getting a seat is one thing, but getting on stage is another. The *Kill Tony* show is built around the "Bucket Pull," where names are drawn randomly to perform a one-minute set.
If you want a chance to perform, the sign-up process is separate from the ticket purchase and can change. Historically, sign-ups have been held at an alternate location (like Shakespeares) or at a designated table set up outside the Comedy Mothership on the day of the show.
Key Bucket Pull Rules: You must be physically present to sign up, and lying during the brief interview process is highly discouraged. The time between bucket pulls can vary drastically throughout the show.
Understanding the Kill Tony Universe: Golden Tickets and More
To truly understand the value of a Kill Tony ticket, you must know the unique terminology and entities that govern the show, many of which are LSI keywords that drive fan curiosity.
The Golden Ticket
The "Golden Ticket" is the highest honor an aspiring comedian can receive on the show. It is a free pass given by Tony Hinchcliffe to a performer who has "crushed" their one-minute set and subsequent interview.
This ticket grants the winner a guaranteed spot to perform a minute on any future *Kill Tony* show—a massive boost for a comedian’s career. While talent is key, the Golden Ticket is also often awarded for high-impact, shocking, or surprising performances that grab Tony's immediate attention.
Featured Regulars and Entities
The show's success is also built on its cast of recurring personalities and entities:
- Kam Patterson: A popular regular known for his laid-back, observational style.
- David Lucas: The show's resident roaster, known for his quick-witted, brutal takedowns.
- Hans Kim: A long-time regular whose sets often feature self-deprecating humor.
- Martin Phillips: Another key member of the "Killers of Kill Tony" touring group.
- Redban: Brian Redban, the co-host and producer, who provides the show's technical backbone and often serves as a comedic foil to Tony.
- Vortex: An older term referring to the show's previous home at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, before the move to the Mothership.
Securing a ticket to any Kill Tony event is an investment in a unique, unscripted, and often history-making night of comedy. Whether you are in a massive arena for the 2026 tour or one of the lucky few inside the Mothership, the experience is unlike any other in entertainment.
