Kill Tony Sets Two Nights at Dolby Live, Park MGM

Kill Tony runs on a simple gimmick that has carried it since it launched in 2013: comedians write their names on slips of paper and drop them into what the show calls the Bucket of Destiny. Whoever gets pulled has one minute to do stand-up before Hinchcliffe and co-host Brian Redban interview them on the spot. Mixed in are scheduled sets from a rotating panel of comics, so no two nights run the same lineup.

The two Park MGM shows are billed as separate nights with their own guest panels, so seeing one is not the same as seeing the other.

The format has carried the show past its comedy club roots. Since launching in 2013, Kill Tony has grown into what its own promotion calls the top live comedy podcast in the country, and Netflix now carries several of its specials and events under a multi special deal, which is part of why a casino showroom is willing to book it for two nights instead of the usual one.

Both shows are set for Dolby Live at Park MGM on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14. A fan presale opened Tuesday at 10 a.m., and general tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Single day tickets are being sold for each night rather than a bundled two show pass.

Kill Tony has built a following well beyond the comedy world at this point, and Park MGM booking two nights instead of one suggests the venue expects both to move. If stand-up is part of why you come to Vegas at all, this is a bigger draw than the average comedy club booking, closer in scale to a music residency than a one-off set.

Because it is only two nights and demand for this show has run hot everywhere it has played, do not wait past the Friday on-sale if you want a seat. Park MGM is centrally located on the Strip, so pairing a show night with dinner or a walk down to the Cosmopolitan side is an easy add if you are staying nearby.

Dolby Live has spent the last few years leaning on exactly this kind of booking, mixing music residencies with comedy and podcast events rather than sticking to a single genre. Two sold nights from a show that already filled Madison Square Garden twice is a solid bet for a room that size, and it gives visitors another reason to check the Strip's comedy calendar before assuming the only options are the usual illusionist and impressionist shows.
