We neglected to mention that, on our way out of the Comedy Stop at the Trop on Monday night, we spoke briefly to a robust Kevin Knox. The Boston comic assures one and all that he is healthy. We concur. (We have received inquiries here at the magazine about his health, as he was recently diagnosed with cancer– and, from what we hear, a rather virile form of the disease.)
He appeared to us to be spunkier and more full of pep than 99 per cent of the people we encountered in Las Vegas over the previous 36 hours. He casually mentioned that he ran four miles that day. (This four-mile thing only scratches the surface. He gives mini motivational speeches on the importance of diet, exercise and positive mental attitude with just the slightest provocation. There can be no doubting his veracity. He is obviously motivated and he is obviously beating cancer.) Coming to a comedy club near you, Kevin Knox.
