There are comedians and then there are Comedians. I make the capitol 'C' distinction because in a group like this some folks just stand out from the crowd. Weather they be a great writer, or performer, or both. Kevin Knox was all that and more. As well as being one of the nicest, strongest people you could ever have met. I knew Kevin for more than a decade. I only really saw him at shows or on the road, but I like to think we were friendly if not friends. His personality and presence were a huge factor in how I came up in the business. I saw his act countless times over the years and laughed as hard the last time as the first. But it was because Kevin always gave it his all. Always made sure that the audience got what they came for. That always inspired me to be a better perfomer. He was a great comedian. He was a great man, and he will be missed by me and countless others.
Rest in Peace Kev. You earned it.
