This comedian just had his first stand up show and is on NetFlix, there is nothing about him scarcely and it would be useful for people to learn more about him. I am working on getting more sources and info. I cannot dedicate a whole day to getting it fully sourced. I will add an image and more sources soon.

Add the word “racist” in the lead sentence. 173.73.149.196 ( talk) 03:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
The controversy section would be improved if it included some of Hinchcliffe's statements about the incident, especially considering it includes response commentary from Dang. Currently it is a biased one-sided take on the incident in question. Brakoholic ( talk) 13:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Tony Hinchcliffe tells this story with Dang on the British podcast Triggernometry (October 29, 2023) and if he is correct, the entry here leaves out a lot: Dang did a very anti-Whites rant right before H's. own set and Hinchcliffe basically just responded in kind. H. also says, that Dang had refused to talk to him, when a storm was brewing on H.'s Twitter account, well before the shit really hit the fan. The whole thing died, Hinchcliffe says, after his copy of both (uncut) sets was put out on Ari Shariff's Twitter account.-- Ralfdetlef ( talk) 04:25, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Tony was dropped by his agency, and is now represented by a much bigger agency. Tony has tried to reach out to Dang Peng multiple times and Dang Peng did not reply. Tony did a set where it was clear that he was referencing Dang Peng set where he was insulting comedically white people.
There is a whole 1 hour podcast showing Tony's side of the story, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5DtpgTOfA4. What is written below is very one sided and needs to be more balanced! Otherwise this article is for the news and not the unbiased Wikipedia.
In May 2021, Hinchcliffe was videotaped insulting Peng Dang, an Asian American comedian who had introduced Hinchcliffe after performing the previous set at Vulcan Gas Company in Austin. Hinchcliffe said Dang was a "filthy little fucking chink", followed with a series of Asian stereotypes in a mock Chinese accent, and lashed out at audience members who laughed at Dang's jokes, branding them as "race traitors". The video was later shown on Twitter, which went viral and received criticism.[18] As a result, Hinchcliffe was dropped by his agency WME, removed from shows scheduled with Joe Rogan in Austin, and the Austin nightclub Antones announced that it would no longer be involved with Hinchcliffe or his Kill Tony live show.[18][19][20]
Vulture reported that during his set, Hinchcliffe stated that Chinese people came to Austin because of the bats and criticized offended audience members for "believing he was serious".[21] Dang stated he did not receive any apology from Hinchcliffe following the incident.[21] Kin1793 ( talk) 08:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Following the released video of Peng Dang's comedy set, that was immediately prior to the set Tony did with the controversial jokes, Peng stopped his media tour. In the unedited video of both sets, Tony was repeating what Peng had said and then was chastising the crowd for laughing at stereotypes.
Further evidence showed that Tony indeed tried to contact Peng multiple times as did other colleagues. Peng has been since accused of character assassination and a false collaborative cancellation effort.
Tony Hinchcliffe has since become a star in his podcast and continues to roast fellow comedians at an even greater audience level than before the incident. 2604:3D08:9181:1200:49C6:22CC:4C9E:9DD8 ( talk) 22:59, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

The page is very biased. It does not reflect what happened after the full video was released of Tony's set. It does not reflect the Twitter accounts that were releasing tweets even before the videos were released. ErskineJ ( talk) 05:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Change the claim that the comedian Tony Hinchliffe was genuinely racist towards the comedian Peng Dang as it is a false claim that has been disproven across various, legitimate sources which revealed the original, unedited video of the show - Ari Shaffir's official Youtube site https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XizKz6y0LU , proving that Peng Dang had strategically edited the video and manipulated the situation to gain fame for himself at the expense of Tony Hinchliffe and purposefully causing serious damage to the career and reputation of Tony Hinchcliffe.
Remove the claim that the comedian Deng Peng is yet to receive an apology from the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe as it is not merited and is misleading in the claim that Tony Hinchcliffe was genuinely racially abusive towards him.
Include the fact that the comedian Deng Peng was also racially abusive in jest prior to the response of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe as is par for the course of the "Kill Tony" standup style which is also known as a "roast battle".
Include the information that Deng Peng's actions involved suspicious events that are described in the full interview and exposee with the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on the British political discussion podcast "Triggernometry" via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5DtpgTOfA4

Not a Wikipedia expert, but seems like people with an agenda against Tony are the only people to have written a word about him here. I'll try to include a couple of sources below describing what Kill tony is about. Specifically, Re: all the talk above, the show very purposefully uses an unfiltered format (anti-cancel culture), where all is welcome to be said so long as it's funny. Not in a demeaning way, but the show is meant to emulate Kill Bill, where it's a training ground for young comedians.
In general, I'm just saying that there's basically nothing about his show, which regularly gets over 100k views on YouTube alone, and is pulling guests like Tony Hawk, Tucker Carlson, and much of the Austin comedy scene. Help would be appreciated here! I included 10 different articles to help beef up the page.
