Red Seat Ventures Announces Exclusive Multiyear Partnership with Kill Tony

Red Seat Ventures Announces Exclusive Multiyear Partnership with Kill Tony The Company is the New Monetization and Distribution Home for the Globally Popular Live Comedy Podcast Hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban Los Angeles, CA - April 27, 2026 - Red Seat Ventures, a Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX) creator-led media company, today announced a multiyear partnership with Kill Tony, the world's most popular live comedy podcast, making the company's first major move into live entertainment and comedy. Under the agreement, Red Seat Ventures will serve as the exclusive audio and video ad sales partner for Kill Tony and distribute the show across FOX's streaming platforms - including Tubi and FOX One - as well as YouTube and other third-party platforms.

The partnership will also bring ad-free episodes of Kill Tony to fans through a monthly subscription on Supercast, Red Seat Ventures' premium podcast subscription platform. Additional announcements about the partnership will be made soon.

Part talent show, part roast battle, Kill Tony blends stand-up, improv and comedy talent discovery in one of the most influential and longest-running live podcasts in any genre. The show has amassed over 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 3 million downloads per episode across Spotify and Apple Podcasts, making it the #1 live podcast in the world.

We are thrilled to be partnering with Tony and the Kill Tony entourage in bringing their wildly funny and captivating live comedy podcast to our growing portfolio of genre-defining creator content, said Chris Balfe, CEO of Red Seat Ventures. We look forward to expanding their audience across FOX's streaming services and empowering them to scale and monetize their business in new ways.

Red Seat Ventures is the perfect partner for our podcast - they understand our brand, our vision and the importance of capturing and delivering live content to audiences, said Tony Hinchcliffe. Chris and his team have the right tools and resources for us to maximize and elevate our podcasting footprint, and we're excited to kick off the partnership with even more great comedic content for our audiences.

The deal builds on Red Seat Ventures' continued evolution from a podcast network into a full-scale creator-led media company. By pairing the biggest creators with best-in-class distribution, monetization and technology - including its recently launched Speakeasy hosting and ad-tech platform - Red Seat Ventures is building lasting creator-led franchises at scale.

A formidable force in comedy, Hinchcliffe has toured globally for nearly two decades and is known for his razor-sharp wit and his preeminent role in roast battles. In 2024, Hinchcliffe took Kill Tony on a triumphant tour through some of the nation's largest and most prestigious arenas, underscoring the podcast's unmatched influence in the stand-up comedy world. Hinchcliffe's flagship show, now permanently nestled at The Comedy Mothership in downtown Austin, consistently sells out in minutes and draws a throng of budding comedians eager for their moment in the spotlight.

Kill Tony is represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
