Kyle Kinane has released two soulful, uninhibited and often hilarious stand-up specials.Yet, for the 47-year-old comic, he sees his exceptional output as just part of the job.“I have an hour that I present, and when I think it’s at its best, I record it and put it out,” Kinane told the New York Post in an exclusive interview.“It’s similar to the UK model where you’re like, ‘alright, here’s this year’s offering,’ but while that’s being perfected, the new stuff is in the oven.”And, true to form, the hardworking Chicago native and current Portland resident is already back on the road after dropping the excellent, expertly constructed special “DirtNap” on Monday, March 4.As of now, Kinane has dates book from March all the way up until November on his nationwide ‘It’s Not A Tour, It’s The Job Tour.’That includes three shows at Albany’s Funny Bone on May 17-18. “On this run, I’m exploring the idea of fight or flight as a human response to threats,” Kinane explained.

Shane Gillis, who was hired and then quickly fired from NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in 2019 for racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and transphobic remarks on his podcast, will host the long-running sketch show with musical guest 21 Savage.And, while the 36-year-old claims to have learned from his “offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable” on-air slurs, he continues to work cruel stereotypes into his material according to the Los Angeles Times.Still, his stand-up comedy and podcast have thrived post-firing; Gillis became particularly popular with conservative and anti-woke audiences after being let go.Now, he’s midway through a nationwide tour which includes three shows at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on March 1-2.As of now, demand seems quite high for his live shows; at the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any single gig was $51 before fees on Vivid Seats.Other shows have seats starting anywhere from $60 to $267 before fees.All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.A complete calendar including tour dates, venues and links to the cheapest tickets available can be found below.(Note: The New York Post confirmed all above prices at the publication time.

Amy Poehler was also bestowed with a “Best Of.” However, her cast mate and co-anchor on Weekend Update Tina Fey never had one produced in her honor.Thankfully, the duo’s excellent ongoing ‘Restless Leg Tour’ rectifies that unfortunate slight.Currently running at New York City’s Beacon Theatre for an extended residency — which includes a likely to be packed Valentine’s Day show — the pair flex all their comedic muscles over the course of an airtight 90-minute show.It’s like a live “Best Of” but…better.

What do we got, a migrant here?” Normand joked as the man got up on stage.“Oh jeez, everything alright? Just want to make sure everybody is good here.

Joe Gatto didn’t recount his High School experience all too fondly during his first solo show at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. “I was the white kid who loved math and bowled… so… unf***able,” he joked.Clearly, the 47-year-old comic forgot to mention he also had his wild sense of humor going for him.

Netflix comedy special, “Turbo Fonzarelli.”The event is set to debut Jan. 9 and comes just weeks after the “Saturday Night Live” alum, 30, mysteriously canceled several shows last month.Netflix dropped a quick teaser Wednesday, showing Davidson smoking a cigarette.The black-and-white clip then features the comedian walking out of a room to see his adoring, screaming fans.But then a voiceover joked: “What the f–k is a Turbo Fonzarelli?”The show synopsis reads that Davidson “delivers on what it means to grow up and turn 30, discussing love, life and living in the woods,” according to People.Fans were excited to see Davidson on their streaming screens once again.One screamed: “Wait on January 9th we get Pete Davidson’s new Netflix stand up special wooo!”Another fan added: “Eagerly waiting for this showw!”“Can’t wait for this,” someone else said alongside a chef’s kiss emoji.“Turbo Fonzarelli” is the actor’s second Netflix special, following 2020’s “Pete Davidson: Alive in New York.” (During that stand-up, he famously dissed his ex-fiancee, Ariana Grande.)The “King of Staten Island” star has recently taken his show across the country.

Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Burr and Roy Wood Jr. all had the same answer.Mark Normand.Normand, 40, isn’t new to the scene, though.
