Political Stance In A Post
Comedian Kyle Kinane used his Instagram platform this week to deliver an unfiltered political call-out. In a screenshot shared on his @kylekinane handle, Kinane captioned a stark message:
“The boys wanted me to remind yall…
Fuck Trump
Fuck ICE
No Kings
(ps i love the “i’m unfollowing” messages. it’s like trying to lose weight and hearing the fat say “goodbye”)”
His post, accompanied by a simple black-and-white image of the text on-screen, has racked up thousands of likes and hundreds of comments—both praising his candor and promising to hit the unfollow button.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Fans flocked to the comments to express solidarity. One wrote, “About time someone said it,” while another offered a more nuanced take: “Comedy has always been about speaking truth to power.” At the same time, Kinane admitted that he finds the “I’m unfollowing” notes almost amusing, likening them to “trying to lose weight and hearing the fat say ‘goodbye.’”
Not everyone was on board. Several users criticized the blunt language or threatened to drop off his feed. Kinane’s candid riff demonstrates how social media can serve as both megaphone and lightning rod—especially when a public figure wields humor to tackle divisive issues.
Career And Commentary
Kyle Kinane, born December 23, 1976, in Chicago, has carved out a reputation for his gravelly voice and self-deprecating style. After moving to Denver and later settling in Los Angeles, he released acclaimed albums including Death of the Party (2010) and Trampoline in a Ditch (2016).
He’s appeared on late-night stages—Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Conan among them—and lent his voice to Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time. Kinane’s stand-up specials, distributed by Comedy Central, often blend personal anecdotes with societal observations. This recent Instagram post proves he’s unafraid to mix politics into his routine.
“It’s comedy, but it’s also me saying what a lot of people are thinking,” Kinane explained in a follow-up Story. “I love the noise—good or bad. That’s how you know it’s hitting home.”
Tour Dates And Summer Schedule
Amid the political sparks, Kinane hasn’t slowed down his touring schedule. In a May Instagram update, he shared a snapshot of his “Summer hours here at Kinane HQ,” directing fans to www.kylekinane.com for upcoming dates. With shows lined up across the country, he’s balancing political commentary with live performances.
Fans in Portland will recognize his face from Kickstand Comedy in the Park, and those in the Midwest can catch him on The Roommates Tour this fall. Kinane’s willingness to lean into provocative topics doesn’t just fill seats—it keeps audiences on their toes.
His previous social posts hint at more creative ventures, too. Earlier this year, he teased a new podcast titled Yakkin’ with Kyle, inviting email questions and feedback. While details remain under wraps, it’s clear Kinane is expanding how he interacts with his fan base beyond the stage.
