So I hear Mr. House runs the Strip. He took it over from the last guy, Mr. Mob-Infested Hellhole.

Billy Knight is a street comedian living on The Strip in 2281. He stands outside of The Tops Casino, next to a gate dividing The Strip.

Background

Billy Knight is a longtime professional comedian who has clearly fallen on hard times. His act are made up of sardonic one-liners and observations about life and various personalities in New Vegas. It is implied that he was once a well-known comic, but his desperation causes him to sharply question his worth to a club.

List of jokes

  • "Hey, what about that suit Benny wears? If I had a suit like that, the ladies would be all over me. What, you expect a punchline? The guy pays my salary!"

  • "So I hear Mr. House runs the Strip. He took it over from the last guy, Mr. Mob-Infested Hellhole."
