Kyle Kinane is a stand-up comedian from the Chicago area who works in the Los Angeles comedy scene. He is known for a distinctive growling delivery, a conversational storytelling style, and frequent self-deprecation.

Style and material

Kinane’s comedy draws on personal misfortune, dead-end jobs, sleepless nights and the apparent futility of his college education. His routines also include mundane and absurd details, such as selling cake decorations over the phone, an early experience of defecating in a bar, and the idea that waking up shirtless in a stranger’s yard might be evidence that he is a werewolf.

Recording

His debut CD, Death of the Party, presents this style through material built around everyday frustrations and bleak self-assessment.
