Kyle Kinane is a storytelling comedian. But he doesn't sacrifice anything for it. In the balance between storytelling and joke telling, the typical performer leans either towards development, setting and character, or the number of laughs and the strength of the payoff. Some raconteurs, like Kinane, know how to crank up all at the same time.
He was included in a "Best of 2011" Comedy Central Presents special, and was given Episode 10 of Season 15 all to himself. It's a good one. But maybe I'm biased, because I have a special place in my heart for balding guys with big beards. My wife is fine with this, because she does too.
