Kyle Kinane to Record Stand-Up Special at 40 Watt


Kyle Kinane is no stranger to Athens, having performed here several times over the course of the last few years. So it came as no shock (though it’s still pretty damn cool news) when the hirsute, gruff-voiced comedian announced on his Tumblr that he will record a new television special at the 40 Watt Club later this summer.

Tickets for the Aug. 16 shows—yes, there will be two of them, at 7:30 and 10 p.m.—are available via the 40 Watt’s website. I’d say you should probably go ahead and jump on ’em.

Below, watch Kinane—who, by the way, had a particularly memorable “Drunk History” appearance and is also the voice of Comedy Central—perform on “Conan” in late 2012.
