About PunchNotes
PunchNotes is a fan-made archive for exploring Kill Tony sets, comedians, episodes, jokes, transcripts, playlists, and comedy structure in one place.
The idea
A searchable map of short-form stand-up
Kill Tony has become a huge living archive of comics trying ideas in public. The show is funny as entertainment, but it is also useful as a record of how jokes are introduced, shaped, recovered, abandoned, or sharpened in front of a real crowd.
PunchNotes tries to make that archive easier to explore. Instead of only searching by episode or guest, you can browse comedians, individual sets, joke beats, transcripts, and playlists built around the moments people actually want to find again.
Letter
A note from the developer
I built PunchNotes for three reasons. The first is simple: people ask me all the time where to start with Kill Tony. They want to watch the show, but there are hundreds of episodes, and "just watch the latest one" is not a great answer. I wanted somewhere I could send people that pointed them toward banger episodes, standout sets, and the moments that actually explain why fans love the show.
The second reason is search. If I am trying to remember which comic did a joke, what episode a set was on, or the exact wording of a line, there has never been a good way to find it. You can search YouTube titles, skim Reddit threads, or hope someone else remembers, but that does not help much when the thing you remember is buried inside a minute. PunchNotes is meant to make the archive searchable at the set and transcript level.
The third reason is joke originality. This part may or may not be live yet when you are reading this, but it is a big part of where the project is going. When I write a joke I think is good, I want to know, with some degree of confidence, whether someone else has already done something similar. Right now the best tools are pretty bad: perform it and hope someone tells you, or Google a few phrases and hope..
At its core, PunchNotes is for comedy fans and comedy nerds. And it's a work in progress. I hope it's useful and if you'd like to reach out or contribute I'll sign my personal email below. I'd love to hear from you.
