[quote=Anonymous]Any "new proving ground for young standup comedians" is going to be rough, though there can still be talent there. I saw a young Birbiglia probably 5 or 6 times at the DC Improv, from when he was a doorman "Emcee" through his short, then longer sets there. He worked on a lot of material that was later featured in his first Netflix special - much of it was far less polished than we'd later see. As for Kill Tony, I'm pretty sure he's part of the Alpha-male / Joe Rogan / Austin comedy culture that's growing so tiresome. No surprise then that it's foul-mouthed and mean-spirited. There can be a place for both in comedy, but leaning on it sure can look amateurish. [/quote]
