Kill Tony 

From the event description:

Join host Tony Hinchcliffe as he holds his wildly popular podcast with co-host Brian Redban. Young up-and-coming comics or failing older ones have their name pulled out of a bucket, do one minute of material each, and then Tony and his two weekly friends/guests give feedback, extra material and ask questions of the performers, which always leads to a hilarious debacle. 

When: Sunday, Sept. 22, 9:30-11:30 p.m.
Where: The Comedy Store La Jolla, 916 Pearl St.
Admission: $15
