The Hosts: The Heart of the Show

At the helm of this comedy ship are hosts Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban. Tony, an insult comedian known for his sharp wit and unapologetic humor, guides the show with a masterful hand. His roasts are legendary, and his ability to turn even the most mundane interview into a comedy goldmine is nothing short of impressive. He’s not just the host – he’s the life of the party.

Brian Redban, co-host and producer, brings his own brand of humor to the table. Known for his work with Joe Rogan and his founding of the Deathsquad podcast network, Redban is no stranger to the podcasting world. His chemistry with Tony is palpable, making for some of the most entertaining banter you’ll find in any podcast.

Together, Tony and Brian create a dynamic that’s as engaging as it is hilarious. They’re the heart of Kill Tony, and the show wouldn’t be the same without them. Especially considering it’s named after Hinchcliffe.
