Tony Hinchcliffe

Tony Hinchcliffe (born June 8, 1984) is an American comedian and podcaster. Since 2013, he has hosted the stand-up comedy podcast Kill Tony, a showcase of professional and amateur comedians who take turns doing one-minute sets. Hinchcliffe is known primarily for roast comedy, having been on the writing staff of the Comedy Central Roast series, and appearing at the All Def Digital Roast of Snoop Dogg in 2016, The Roast of Tom Brady in 2024 and The Roast of Kevin Hart in 2026. He has released three comedy specials, One Shot on Netflix in 2016, Making Friends on YouTube in 2020, and Man of The People on Netflix in 2026.

Hinchcliffe has a reputation for dark humor which, combined with his insult-based roast comedy, has led to several controversies. In 2021, he was dropped by his agency and lost multiple endorsements after using an anti-Asian slur against an opening Chinese American comedian during his set. In October 2024, the Donald Trump campaign invited him to perform a set at a rally at Madison Square Garden, during which he made a widely criticized joke about Puerto Rico. In 2026, during Netflix's The Roast of Kevin Hart Hinchcliffe made several jokes referring to the death of George Floyd, slavery, and the suicide of comedian Sheryl Underwood's husband, sparking widespread criticism.
