Red Dawn
The Dirty Old Church Lady of Stand-Up Comedy
Big Joke Book winner on KillTony Mania, filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at Dolby Live and streaming now on Netflix.
She walked on Kill Tony and walked off with the Big Joke Book.
KillTony Mania was filmed live at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas during WrestleMania week, in front of a sold-out crowd, and premiered on Netflix on April 20, 2026.
Red Dawn took the stage, made Tony Hinchcliffe declare she was built for comedy, got a standing O from Jeff Ross, and won the Big Joke Book. Here is the full set, and the full interview with Tony, Redban, Jeff Ross and The Undertaker.
The Kill Tony panel loved her.

The best of Red Dawn
Kill Tony moments, the Netflix crowd, Jeff Ross, Kevin Hart borrowing her line, and stand-up straight from the clubs. Press play.
Fearless because honesty is funny.
Red Dawn is a Las Vegas stand-up and the self-proclaimed Dirty Old Church Lady of comedy: magnetic, bold, unapologetic, and just dangerous enough to make you wonder what she will say next.
She turns relationships, modern dating, family and life's absurdities into honesty that only sounds like a joke until it lands. She is the Big Joke Book winner from Netflix's KillTony Mania, the creator and host of Hot Mic Hot Wings and The Red Dawn Show, the host of PrimeTime Speed Dating in Las Vegas, and the author of Dawn Compliments the World.
Honest. Flirty. A little dangerous.
“Modern dating is just two people pretending they are not Googling each other under the table.”
“Family is the only audience that heckles you for free, and shows up early.”
“Confidence is not the absence of nerves. It is grabbing the mic anyway.”
“Never call my bluff.”
