His debut Melbourne International Comedy Festival show scored a Barry nomination, making it impossible not to return to our distant shores. Hot on the heels of seasons in London, Edinburgh and across the USA, Kyle Kinane is gruff, goofy and just a little bit grizzly. It’s endearing the way he carves the grim and mundane of life into strangely uplifting and optimistic stories. Capable of weaving hilarious, accidental parables from stupidly dire, everyday encounters, Kyle’s unsophisticated exterior belies a complex wit and intelligence. Kyle is also no slouch when it comes to US television, finding his way onto Bob’s Burgers, Drunk History, and the voice of Comedy Central – vocal chords that can be heard in the flesh this festival.
