About Kyle Kinane: Kyle Christian Kinane is an American stand-up comedian from Villa Park, Illinois.
I was raised Catholic in the Midwest, so I can't enjoy anything.
The category I come closest to is 'lumberjack hipster.'
I like to challenge myself not to be negative, because it's easy to take comedy to a negative place and criticize the outside world. Trying to praise something through comedy or be appreciative and making jokes about it is more challenging than cutti...
Sometimes I realize halfway through a story, I'm like, 'Why would anyone care about this? It's uninteresting.'
I try to stay away from calling people nerds or whatever, because I've got my own fetishes and interests.

Young writers take themselves very seriously in college.
When I lived in Chicago, I didn't like it. It's nice to visit.
I'm hardly a known name, but I don't want to go, like, 'Oh, people call me a storyteller comedian, let me just go up and just talk about my day.' I don't want that to happen.

Sometimes your dreams come true, and it's a real drag.
I still love a well-crafted joke. Twitter's been great for that.
The time that I have on this earth should just be filled with good times.
I think the problems with comedians that are political, and there are some brilliant ones, are the ones that offer no solutions. Not that there's a moral obligation for a comic to fix things, but I like to see a comic that's upset about something and...
I'm glad I'm a comedian. Otherwise, my life would just be a series of undocumented low points.
The exciting part about life is finding out what you can't do, because you don't find out until you try to do something and you're stopped.
I now get to have the life I wanted when I was 18 years old. Now, I'm like, 'I can buy any skateboard I want.'
