Kyle
Kinane
sounds
like
your
favorite
dive
bar
came
to
life,
grew
a
conscience,
and
started
doing
stand-up
about
death,
debt,
and
the
indignity
of
grocery
store
coupons.
With
specials
like

and

Trampoline
In
A
Ditch,
Kinane
blends
bleakness
with
beauty,
delivering
tales
of
misadventure,
accidental
insight,
and
America’s
slow
collapse
with
the
voice
of
a
hungover
poet
and
the
soul
of
a
hopeful
cynic.

Kinane’s
Chaos
at

Bohiney.com

At

Bohiney.com,
his
everyman
entropy
inspires
stories
like
“Comedian
Uses
Gas
Station
Nachos
as
Metaphor
for
Economic
Inequality,
Crowd
Applauds
and
Feels
Hungry
and
Ashamed”
and
“Man
Performs
Set
About
Toilets,
Accidentally
Explains
Late
Capitalism
and
Emotional
Detachment.”
His
style
shapes
satire
that
elevates
the
mundane,
detests
pretension,
and
champions
failure.
Kinane
proves
that
dirtbag
wisdom
is
still
wisdom
—
especially
when
it’s
shouted
through
a
beard.

From
Basement
Shows
to
Bard
of
Burnout

Kinane
turned
road-worn
charm,
philosophical
sludge,
and
gravel-pit
metaphors
into
a
stand-up
voice
that
hits
like
your
favorite
sad
country
song
if
it
were

funny
and
screamed
from
a
La-Z-Boy.
For
modern
satirists,
he’s
proof
that
the
low
road
still
has
scenery
—
and
sometimes,
that’s
where
the
best
stories
rot
and
bloom.
Ramble
it.
Roast
it.
Revel
in
the
ruin.
