Kyle Kinane is a wildman poet. He has been laughing at anti-vaxxers for some time… To their baseless claim that vaccines cause autism, he responds, “Fucking good… We probably need more autistic kids. They’re the ones that keep beating robots at chess.” It’s this type of serious thinking about our collective future that makes his new stand-up special Shocks & Struts perfect for our current moment.

To him, dinosaurs were “God’s little tricksters”; a laparoscopic appendectomy is a “lappy appy”; and a foreskin is “the devil’s calamari.” Using his unique parlance, the beloved comedian transforms our dull world into an emporium of the weird and wonderful.
Kyle recently bought a van – a car that fits his look of someone “who should be at home plotting to kidnap a Democratic governor” – and hit the road to “Jehovah’s Witness [his] bits around the country.” This special showcases another night of hilarity from his travels and a return to a live-action stand-up special, his first since 2018’s Netflix The Standups.

With `his gruff voice, gentle heart, and ill-fated confidence around hotel buffets, Kyle delivers an hour of keen commentary and messy adventure. He wonders at how his pillows turned that color (?!), he explains the way to make everyone in a cruise ship hot tub immediately uncomfortable, and he marvels at pilots who aren’t intimidated by the hundreds of buttons in airplane cockpits, all of which should simply be labeled “Don’t Die!” Kyle Kinane is himself a skilled pilot of comedy. In fact, he’s like a comedy blue angel: darting and diving, taking big risks and pulling off tricks, giving us something to watch that thrills us and moves us too.

    Kyle Kinane is easily one of the best out there doing it, and has been for years. I remember being blown away at Whiskey Icarus and he hasn't let up since.
  • @PreludeDude
    When my plantar fasciitis makes me tip over while pissing in the morning, I think of Kyle Kinane.
  • @terrywayne9119
    I’m glad he has his specials on his channel now. Gonna rewatch them for the views and likes.
  • @joblo2671
    Kyle "criminally underrated" Kinane.
  • @jonpilgrim7820
    I totally avoided this dudes comedy for years without ever having heard it. Gave it a shot a couple weeks back and feel dumb for not doing so sooner. He's smart and funny AF
  • Kyle's management failed this man. He is a comic genius and should be a household name in comedy. "Yeah that kid who is going to overdose at an EDM concert." Just solid, solid gold!
  • @asimeri
    Kyle is just so f'ing incredible. Every time I've ever seen him live he absolutely MURDERS. Great special
  • @zacdickerson1397
    Shocks & Struts and Trampoline In a Ditch are my 2 favorite specials to come out in a very long time. Glad you got them up on your own channel!
  • @CountDuckula83
    Kyle, you have been my favorite stand up comedian for 20 years. I love your material!
  • @reneelarson5781
    I love Kyle! I can, and do, rewatch them over and over. His stories are funny no matter how many times I've heard them 🤣
  • Severely underrated comic . He has always had solid sets and specials over the years
  • @Drekromancer
    I can't believe I've never heard of this man. His momentum is unbelievable. I was laughing the whole time!
  • @Alexvidwork
    Kyle, you're objectively a top tier, goat level comedian. Been watching for almost 20 years now and you still deliver the goods.
  • @shards0fwords
    I’ve watched this at least 4 times ❤ edit: at least 5 times now
  • @drunkpunk5393
    Will be watching this for many nights. He was right I was confused. But laughed throughout. Thanks for posting to YouTube. Will be rewatched endlessly.
  • @solisdruid8442
    Hands down one of the best storytellers and master of random thoughts that still end in an epic call back.

    I happened to find Kyle yesterday, and I've been binge watching his specials and laughing my ass off. He is my new favorite comic. Thanks for bringing joy in this fucked up world.
  • I put his last special on while I was busy, accidentally sat for the whole hour while I had stuff today… Fantastic!
  • @davidkaplan3817
    You, sir, are quite simply amazing. Thank you! 😊😊😊
