Kyle Christian Kinane (born December 23, 1976) is an American stand-up comedian and actor from Addison, Illinois.

Career

Kinane's first television appearance was on The Nanny playing "Young Roger Clinton".

His debut album Death of the Party, recorded at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles and released in 2010 on Aspecialthing Records, was met with critical acclaim. Kinane was named in Variety's "Ten Comics to Watch in 2010".

Kinane has had a longstanding relationship with the cable channel Comedy Central, including serving as the voice for their on-air announcements from 2011 until 2018. His first Comedy Central Presents half-hour special was on February 25, 2011. Other Comedy Central programs on which he has appeared include Drunk History (on which he retold the story of the Haymarket affair and the Voskhod 2 mission while drunk), the game show @midnight, which he won seven times, and the 2014 animated series TripTank.

Kinane's first stand-up comedy DVD special, Whiskey Icarus, was released in 2012. His second stand-up DVD special, "I Liked His Old Stuff Better," was released in 2015.

Kinane has performed his stand-up on television programs Last Call with Carson Daly, Live at Gotham, Conan and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He has opened for comedians Patton Oswalt and Daniel Tosh on tour.

He has appeared on many audio and video podcasts, including Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker, Quorators, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Doug Loves Movies, Getting Doug with High, The Grandma's Virginity Podcast, The Nerdist Podcast, Comedy Film Nerds, Stop Podcasting Yourself, The Adam Carolla Show, You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes, All Growz Up with Melinda Hill WTF with Marc Maron, and The Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana. He was also featured in the web-series Outside Comedy, where he discussed his love of mountain biking. He appears in comedian Ray Harrington's 2015 documentary Be a Man.

Kinane also co-hosted his own podcasts, including The Boogie Monster with comedian Dave Stone and No Accounting for Taste with comedian Shane Torres. The Boogie Monster started in August 2016 and went on hiatus in May 2023, returning in January 2026. No Accounting For Taste ran from April 2022 to June 2024. Kinane cited feelings of burnout and an oversaturation of comedian-hosted podcasts as his reason for ending both shows in a March 2026 episode of Boogie Monster.

In 2019 Kinane starred in the music video for "Disappear" by punk band Off With Their Heads.

In 2025, Kinane's special Dirt Nap explored the relationship between the Fast and Furious franchise and a feral cat.
