Kill Tony #545 — Akaash Singh

Set: Hans delivered observational comedy about parking tickets, airport security post-9/11, and a bicycle identifying as an automobile. His material was sharp and precisely 60 seconds.

Interview: Hans discussed his newly acquired Aviator Nation flannel shirt from a paid show, his move into a house with other comedians, and his relationship with a Detroit stripper named Elise. He mentioned shooting guns and lighting fireworks.

Set: Tyler's debut set featured dark comedy about depression, his sister's disturbing habits, lying to women, homeless people, and accidentally setting a church on fire as a child.

Interview: Tyler revealed he's 24, from Seattle, recently moved to Austin, was fired for tardiness, buys mushrooms from the dark web, and purchased them via mail. He skateboarded and did comedy for fun.

Set: Phillip performed a tight bit about car crashes and embarrassing music blaring from car speakers. He discussed the awkwardness of embarrassing songs playing during serious situations.

Interview: Phillip discussed traveling for eight months, working the door at the venue, building Austin comedy scene connections, doing road gigs, trying DMT with vivid experiences, and his musician girlfriend.

Set: Mike performed high-energy comedy about his appearance, an Uber driver comparing him to Guy Fieri, his wife calling him gay, and wishes about pursuing comedy differently.

Interview: Mike discussed being from Southlake (Fort Worth area), his father being a lawyer now teaching at a women's college in Bangladesh, his wife working as restaurant manager, doing DMT, and eating late-night food truck halal.

Set: Ellis performed energetic comedy about older men pursuing younger women, Viagra and heart attacks, and dying with an erection. His set was enthusiastic but Tony noted he should hold the microphone closer to his mouth.

Interview: Ellis discussed two movies coming out (Cheer seasons three and four), driving Lyft during the day but not at night, picking up a Nebraska crackhead with strange friends, and cooking cheeseburgers with them.

Set: Scott delivered an absolutely disastrous set about atheists who believe in DMT elves. The material was incomprehensible, offensive, and widely considered one of the worst performances in Kill Tony history.

Interview: Scott revealed he's only eight months into comedy despite saying fourteen minutes, is a paralegal, kayaks weekly, and said nothing coherent despite multiple interview attempts.

Set: Chris performed edgy comedy about menstruation during oral sex and graphic descriptions of blood. His bit was provocative but benefited from following Scott's disastrous set.

Interview: Chris discussed being 23, five years of stand-up experience, not currently working, eating cup of noodles daily, living in 10-person house above Chupacabra on 6th Street, and an upcoming solar panel sales interview.

Set: William delivered sharp, political comedy about Aphex Twin, Texas banning books on race and sexuality, and metaverse rape warnings. His jokes about not wearing provocative clothing in the metaverse were particularly strong.

Interview: William discussed watching The Exorcist repeatedly, getting trapped in apartment during freeze, cleaning guns while watching the film, his mother's concerns about demon possession, and his crock pot soup addiction.
