What The Media Doesn't Show You: Tony Hinchcliffe FULL SET Following Peng Dang - Austin, TX

Here’s the entire sets of two comics in a row. Standup comedian Peng Dang and standup comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. I am only showing this because one of the comics had his set viciously edited and released without his consent. This here is what live standup is. It’s raw. Comics riff off what previous comics say sometimes. That’s just some of the context you would need to understand a joke when you’re not in the actual room. Other contexts are that these two comics knew each other, so a bit of ball-busting is among performers on the same shows is never far from the norm. And another piece of context is that Tony is doing a guest set on this show. So nobody in the audience was expecting him to be performing there. In other words, these were not specifically his fans. They were actually fans of Peng who was on the lineup. So that's who's in the crowd and that's who is laughing at the jokes.
In this one, the first comic does a SUPER pandering, intentionally joke-free “bit” about wanting people to be nice to Asians. Plenty of other actual jokes about Asians in there as well, but the pandering plea is the important one to note. It's got a tiny joke at the end about soy sauce, but the meat of it was literally saying "please don't be so mean to us." So the next comic, Tony, went with a contrast joke by going super obviously overboard mean to Asians. That contrast is where the humor is and that’s what the crowd is laughing at. Those laughs you hear are the honest reactions of a crowd who saw ALL the context. It’s in Austin, one of the most liberal cities in America. And they’re all laughing. Liberal people are all laughing. And they’re laughing because they understand the comedian doesn’t hold those views. The ridiculousness of the overreaction is what’s bringing out the laughs. Now, could Tony have accomplished that with different wording? A different tone? With a different outfit? For sure. Maybe he should have and maybe he shouldn't have. It's not for us to decide how we want artists to do what they do. It's for them. If you view standup as a business that you own, sure, weigh in and choose how it's done. But if you view comedy as an art form, then we can never dictate how they should be doing things. It is not up to us at all. And when we pressure comedians (getting their agents to drop them, having people threaten venues until gigs are cancelled) to always perform how WE want in every moment, what we've actually done is put unnatural pressure on the art form to be made into what we decide instead of what the artist wants. That's dangerous.
So this is just some of the context necessary to understand what's going on here. There's tons more that I could only know by being in that room that day. I don't know what the sound system was like. I don't know what was in the news in the area that day. It all goes into how the crowd receives a performer. But I'm giving you SOME of the context.
Most likely, many of you have already made up your minds about these comics as humans. You've weighed in on how "you would have done it" or what's ok and what's not ok. And now that you have tons of new context, you likely won't change your opinion at all. That's human nature. Once our minds have been made up, we have trouble changing them. Despite new evidence, we want to continue holding to our emotion. Especially if we've posted our views in writing. That makes it even more difficult to reform an opinion. So this is not going to sway many people. But for those of you who can see that this isn't quite what has been presented to you previously, maybe it's time for you to speak out. Jump into the discourse about it. Honestly, we shouldn't even be talking about somebody's workout set from a bar room we've never been to. But now that we are, it's really not fair to the performer or to standup comedy in general that a narrative derived from a sneaky, out-of-context edit is the only one out there.
Live comedy is the best! It's wild and uncensored and exciting and hilarious and cringey and interesting and uncomfortable and just super fucking fun. It should never be released without permission from the comedian because sometimes we take chances. We try things that might not work but we need to try. To go for something to see what works and where the lines are. The only way to figure that out is by trying stuff in these types of shows. If it doesn’t go over, our punishment is that we have to deal with the bomb. Bombs sucks. But if people start filming these then the result is comics won’t be able to try stuff. We won’t be able to grow. It holds back the entire creative process. These aren't standup specials. And when people see a bootleg set they tend to treat it like a special, to analyze it like we carefully picked out every word, to rate it against the best material of other comedians. And that's not fair to the set, the performer, or to process.
I show this only because of the previous betrayal. Viva live standup comedy!

@@iszazial7845 I do agree with you but their opinion is theirs. I love them both for their comedy but a lot of comedians seem to be at least a little sensitive (*ahem* Donnell Rawlings). That's okay. Everyone always say I should be doing comedy. Mine stens from being a fay kid growing up that used a quick wit, an ability to joke with the people making fun of me, and a generally low self-esteem. It seems like a few of these guys can relate to that. A multitude of usually negative influences allowed them to lauhh at some of the most negative things in the world. People are entitled to have their opinions. Doesn't make us/them right ir wrong. Fortunately, we both get Ari and Tony and have probably listened to them enough in various settings to get a vetter understanding than others who heard them a couple/few times and don't have a keen picture of the humans behind the art. I didn't find Peng that funny after hearing him here for the first time but I don't claim to know him or understand his comedy with such limited interaction. But a lot of these guys literally live their art. They try to make each other laugh by doing messed up stuff - shock value included. Tony gives "normies" chances to become something and Ari is Ari.He does his best to always get people laughing. Roasts are meant to be like that. A fat guy would have his weight made fun of, people with mullets would have lots of redneck and Billy Ray Cyrus jokes directed at him. Because a roast is making fun of a person's appearance and known differences.

bravetitangrizzly I actually realized this about five minutes after my response. I have actually met Tony, and he seemed pretty cool. My personal take is that he likes to play the heel and mistakes 1950s humor for being edgy and “fighting PC culture.” But maybe that’s just projection on my part. He likes Trump, who is basically a nazi. The Asian stuff - notably when he and Redban harassed the Asian woman who used to clean the mics - is super cringe. Aside from stirring up this sort of thing, those jokes are hacky as fuck. That said, Tony may grow his audience since this country seems to be backsliding back into the Jim Crow era.

It's moronic. Notice how nobody thinks that Louis C.K. is an actual racist even tho he literally says the n word in his stand up? It's cuz it's clear that what he's saying isn't coming from a hateful, racist place. What Tony said can pretty much only be taken as hateful and racist. Whether he actually is or not, who knows, you can't see inside someone's head. Your art is a reflection of you, and to hide behind the excuse 'its just jokes' is such a pussy thing to do. It's spineless, and in the real world nobody respects it.

Tony Hinchcliffe is a roast comedian. That is his style and he bears no exceptions. Comedy is one of the few avenues left to truly exercise free speech; to open dialogue in areas that are highly contentious, and bring humor to the sad realities. It takes balls to stand up (pun intended) to the crowd and say things that are otherwise 'cancelable' and defy the status quo. To those offended, reassess your life and priorities, because someone else's art and/or opinion should not define yours.

Yeah it was so good. I do feel like this "cancellation" has make Tony tone it down a little bit though. He was going in HARD here. I actually think he's even better now. He still throws his hardcore shit in but its better timed now and maybe a bit more thought out. Peng doesnt belong in comedy. I cant believe he thought this would be a good idea.

[@CrashRacknShoot]

Couldnt agree more. I really don't understand how anyone can take Tony's intro seriously. For sure the pissed off people didn't see the whole thing, but the whole point of his intro was to 1. Ride the wave of energy Peng had with the crowd, and 2. Comedy 101: be contrarian. It's insane if someone thought any of that is truly how he thinks. He's making fun of the situation the world was in at the time with the idiots hating Asians for Covid. How is that not clear as fucking day? Then Peng tries to step on Tony to help his own career like a spineless twat. Yeah, real comedian he is...

think about the words they have us using too. theres a difference between jokes & everybody can get it and actual hate for a race, and you would say that someone with legitimate hatred is morally incorrect but they tell us to use terms like "politically" incorrect to hijack an entire civil rights movement and munipulate peoples subconcious to think voting for a representative of government represents or is a voice of the people for said government because they stress how not racist they are, but in their actions, clear racists. lets not forget asian to black hate is way more than any hate asians are getting in this particular country anyway.

[@janky14x]

The absurdity of Tony's first bit makes it funny, like people don't really talk like that, it's so ridiculous. He was basically calling out peng for relying on stereotypical jokes himself and then pushing his sjw bits into his set. Tony's only fault here was thinking that he and Peng were good enough friends that he wouldn't take the roasting personally. What he went on to do instead was even worse than taking it personally, instead of talking it out with Tony he goes and puts out an out of context bit to gain sympathy points from people who aren't even into stand up or just straight up have terrible sense of humours. Peng better hope everyone that is outraged now and trying to cancel Tony also supports him for the rest of his career cause he won't get help from the majority the comic community anymore.
