The Secret Playbook: 5 Steps To Score 'Kill Tony' Tickets In 2025 (Weekly Show & Tour)
The quest to get tickets for the world's number one live comedy podcast, Kill Tony, has become a legendary challenge for comedy fans in 2025. The show, hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe and co-hosted by Brian Redban, is a phenomenon that has moved from the back rooms of The Comedy Store in Los Angeles to the biggest arenas on tour, and now has its permanent home at Joe Rogan’s exclusive Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas. Getting a seat to the weekly taping is a high-stakes, low-availability game, but there are specific, up-to-date strategies you must employ to beat the system and witness the "Bucket of Destiny" live.
As of December 23, 2025, the ticketing landscape for Kill Tony is split into two distinct paths: the highly coveted, rare tickets for the weekly podcast taping at the Comedy Mothership, and the much more accessible, but still fast-selling, tickets for the massive "Killers of Kill Tony" live tour. This comprehensive guide breaks down the exact steps, release schedules, and "secret sauce" methods you need to know to secure your spot for either or both of these incredible live comedy experiences.
The Two Paths to See Kill Tony Live: Weekly Taping vs. Arena Tour
Before you even begin your search, you must decide which experience you are aiming for. The ticketing process and availability are drastically different for each.
1. The Weekly Podcast Taping: The Comedy Mothership (Austin, TX)
This is the original, unedited, weekly show where the magic happens. It is the hardest ticket in comedy to get. The show is performed and recorded every Monday night at the Comedy Mothership, Joe Rogan's state-of-the-art club in Austin, Texas. The venue is intimate, and tickets are released in large, unpredictable batches only a few times a year.
The Comedy Mothership Ticket Secret Sauce
Tickets for the weekly show are not released on a consistent weekly schedule. They are released in massive drops, often covering 3–4 months of shows at once, which means you must be ready to purchase the moment they go live. If you miss the announcement, you will miss the tickets.
- Source is Everything: All tickets are sold exclusively through the official Comedy Mothership website. Never buy from a third-party reseller; the club strictly prohibits it, and your ticket will be voided.
- The Social Media Alert System: The absolute most critical step is following the key accounts on social media (Instagram/Twitter). The show's creators and the venue will post an "early access" link or a specific date/time for the ticket drop a few days to a week in advance. You must follow:
- The official Comedy Mothership account.
- Tony Hinchcliffe’s official account.
- Brian Redban’s official account.
- The Golden Banner Trick (Advanced Tip): Some fans have reported success by constantly monitoring the Comedy Mothership website. If you click "Buy Tickets" on any show, then click the back arrow on the golden banner at the top of the site, you can sometimes find the Kill Tony show page before it’s officially promoted, allowing you to click on it the moment tickets are released.
Once tickets are released, they sell out in minutes, sometimes seconds. Be logged into the site, have your payment information ready, and treat the release time like a concert ticket drop.
2. The 'Killers of Kill Tony' Live Tour (Arena Shows)
If you're looking for a guaranteed, large-scale experience, the "Killers of Kill Tony" tour is your best bet. These are massive, stadium-sized shows that feature Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Redban, and a rotating cast of the show's favorite regulars (like Hans Kim, William Montgomery, and others) performing an extended version of the show in cities across the country and the world. This is a much easier ticket to secure.
How to Purchase Tour Tickets in 2025
Unlike the weekly taping, tour tickets are sold through standard major ticketing platforms. The tour schedule for 2025 and 2026 is constantly being updated, so check the official sites frequently.
- Primary Vendors: Check major ticket retailers like Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and StubHub.
- Check the Host Venue: Always check the website of the specific venue where the show is scheduled (e.g., Moody Center ATX, Smart Financial Centre). Venue sites often have the most up-to-date pre-sale codes and seating charts.
- Upcoming 2025/2026 Dates: Tour dates are scheduled well into 2026, with shows in major cities like Austin, Sugar Land, Dayton, and more.
The Last-Minute & Standby Strategy: The Mothership Hail Mary
If you are already in Austin, Texas, and the weekly show is sold out, you still have a chance. The Comedy Mothership often implements a standby line for all their shows, including Kill Tony, to fill seats from no-shows or last-minute cancellations. This is a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
- Arrive Early: Go to the Comedy Mothership several hours before the showtime (usually 8:00 PM on Mondays). Ask a staff member about the official standby line procedure for Kill Tony.
- Be Prepared to Wait: You will be placed on a list and must wait until the last possible moment. If ticket holders do not show up, standby guests are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, usually for a cash fee.
- The Comedian's Bucket of Destiny: If you are a comedian hoping to perform, the process is separate. You must have a ticket to the show to get your name in the "Bucket of Destiny". The sign-up is typically done at a designated table inside the Mothership after you enter, where you may be interviewed by a production member. This is not a way to get *audience* tickets, but the only way to get on stage.
Topical Authority & Key Entities: Who is Kill Tony?
The success of Kill Tony is built on a unique format and a core group of personalities and entities that have transformed it into a global phenomenon. Understanding these elements is key to appreciating the live experience.
- Tony Hinchcliffe: The host and creator, known for his sharp, often brutal, one-liners and ability to instantly roast or praise the amateur comedians who pull a ticket from the bucket.
- Brian Redban: The original co-host and producer who co-created the show. He is responsible for the show's unique, chaotic, and often hilarious production style.
- Joe Rogan: The owner of the Comedy Mothership and a frequent guest on the show. His influence was instrumental in the show's move to Austin, solidifying its status as a must-see event.
- The Mothership: The exclusive, current home of the weekly podcast. It is a state-of-the-art comedy club designed for the perfect live comedy experience.
- The Regulars: A cast of recurring comedians who have found fame through the show, including William Montgomery, Hans Kim, David Lucas, and others, who often appear on the live tour.
- The Bucket of Destiny: The physical bucket where aspiring comedians drop their names for a chance to perform a one-minute set, often leading to instant fame or instant failure.
Summary: Your 2025 Kill Tony Ticket Action Plan
To maximize your chances of seeing the show live in 2025, follow this two-pronged approach:
- For the Weekly Mothership Show (The Hardest Ticket):
- Follow the social media accounts of Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Redban, and Comedy Mothership.
- Turn on post notifications for these accounts.
- Be ready to purchase the moment a ticket drop is announced (usually 3-4 times a year).
- Use the official Comedy Mothership website only.
- For the 'Killers of Kill Tony' Tour (The Easy Ticket):
- Check Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and the local venue's website for your city.
- Purchase well in advance, as even arena shows sell out quickly due to the podcast's massive following.
Whether you’re aiming for the intimate, chaotic energy of the Mothership or the massive, high-production value of the arena tour, a little preparation and vigilance will ensure you don't miss out on the world's most unique live comedy podcast.
