WWE is adding another major attraction to WrestleMania 42 week, bringing a popular comedy show into the mix with a late-night event set to take place in Las Vegas.
WWE officially announced that Kill Tony: WrestleMania will be held on Saturday, April 18 at Dolby Live at Park MGM, immediately following the first night of WrestleMania 42. The event is being promoted in partnership with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority as part of the growing list of WrestleMania week activities.
The show is scheduled to begin at 9pm PT, allowing fans time to travel from Allegiant Stadium after WrestleMania Saturday wraps up. The event will combine WWE personalities with comedians and celebrity guests, creating a crossover-style experience that blends comedy and sports entertainment.
According to the official announcement, the format will stay true to the show’s established style, mixing live stand-up with guest commentary and appearances from recognizable names across entertainment.
“KILL TONY, known for its unpredictable format, rising comedic talents and no-holds-barred humor, will feature a mix of WWE Superstars and WWE Legends, established comedians and surprise celebrity guests.”
The event will also maintain the core structure that has made the Kill Tony brand successful, featuring aspiring comedians performing short sets followed by live critiques from Hinchcliffe and his panel.
“KILL TONY: WrestleMania will begin after the conclusion of WrestleMania Saturday, allowing ample time for fans to get from Allegiant Stadium to Dolby Live.”
Tickets for the show are scheduled to go on sale Tuesday, March 24 at 1pm ET / 10am PT through Ticketmaster, with presale access opening earlier the same day. WWE also confirmed that a limited number of VIP upgrade packages will be available, giving fans a chance to meet WWE Superstars ahead of the event.
The addition of Kill Tony to WrestleMania week continues WWE’s trend of expanding its entertainment footprint beyond traditional wrestling events. WrestleMania week in Las Vegas is already expected to feature multiple shows, fan experiences, and appearances, and this comedy crossover adds another unique option for fans traveling to the city.
With WWE continuing to lean into crossover entertainment and celebrity-driven experiences, the inclusion of a major live podcast and comedy event highlights how WrestleMania week has evolved into a full-scale entertainment festival rather than just a two-night wrestling event.
