When it comes to creating raw and real content, Netflix has set its firm footing. Especially in the genre of comedy, the streaming giant has its stack full of celebrity roasts, stand-up comedies, and much more. Recently, they have only debuted another experiment in the world of comedy, with Tony Hinchcliffe’s Kill Tony gracing the platform with K— Tony: K— or Be K—–

 on April 7, which days within its premiere are garnering attention.

So, what exactly is the show, and what is the format it follows to entertain the audience?

What is K— Tony and why is everyone talking about it?

Created by the famous comedian Tony Hinchcliffe

, the show stars Joe
Rogan

and Tom Segura

as the guest judges and was filmed live at Joe Rogan’s Comedy
Mothership in Austin, Texas.
Surrounded
by a live audience and a panel of Hinchcliffe,

Rogan, and Segura, the professional and amateur comedians are given one minute each to make the judges crack up. Then
they will get roast-style feedback from the guests. Thanks to its cast of
famous figures, the show was quick to get more than 2 million YouTube
subscribers and is being praised for its unscripted, unpredictable format.

Other guest judges on the show include Post Malone, Theo Von, Shane Gillis, and others, according to Netflix. Last year, Netflix signed a big four special deal with comedian
Tony Hinchcliffe,
which was aimed at being a mass appeal and friendly comedy. The streaming platform
decided to stream three episodes of Hinchcliffe’s live show, podcast, and amateur
comedy show, K— Tony

, which is accompanied by more stand-up from him for an
hour.

Netflix is being very careful with the streaming adaptation of K— Tony.

Although its popularity already reaches the sky owing to the quick wit and unique format chosen by Tony Hinchcliffe, at the moment they have only joined hands with the comedian for a three-episode series, on which he has to do an active standup too.

However, that his been met with disapproval of the comedian’s fans on the Reddit community who find it unfair that what they could earlier enjoy for free on YouTube is now hiding behind a paywall. But they do not have to be upset for long, as Tony Hinchcliffe’s other K— Tony

‘s episodes
that are not part of the deal with Netflix will be uploaded on YouTube only. But the Netflix deal has surely been beneficial to Tony Hinchcliffe in terms of popularity as well as financially.

Why K— Tony Stands Out?

Netflix makes sure that they do not miss out on any kind of popular or emerging comedy talent, which has made the platform a host to numerous comedy shows and series. So, how exactly does K— Tony

stand out? The answer is the show’s unscripted, raw nature which fires its popularity. It combines real-time comedy with edgy commentary, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Netflix is promoting the show with the tagline of “Stand up at its most unforgiving,”

and that is exactly what it is offering the audience. There are no rules, no formality with the comedians given the full permission to give out their best within their one minute. What makes the show more intriguing is its 60-second policy, which places the comedians in a tricky position but with impressive results if performed properly. The jokes follow an established formula and are culturally relevant.

His hard work and comedic genius behind the show is what made Tony Hinchcliffe approached by Netflix and has also built him a substantial net worth.

podcast since 2013, which has a similar format of
amateur and professional comedians performing a set within 60 seconds. He has written The Comedy Central Roasts
