About

A red beard, a mic, and questionable decisions.

William Flournoy Montgomery is an American stand-up comedian based in Austin, Texas. As the longest-running regular on the live podcast Kill Tony, he has built a national following on absurd misdirection, surprising tags, and crowd work that can swerve from sweet to feral inside one beat.

Beyond Kill Tony, William features around the U.S. for Tony Hinchcliffe and Duncan Trussell, hosts The William Montgomery Show podcast, and appears in Showtime’s The Comedy Store documentary. Audiences come for the bit, stay for the runaway moment that wasn’t on the page.
