Tony Knight Was Preparing For A UK Comedy Tour

Before his tragic passing, Knight was preparing for a comedy tour in the UK, and he had been scheduled to perform his stand-up show, “Mad Dogs and an Englishman,” in venues across Australia and the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, Knight’s sister-in-law, Joanne Allen, described how he had just begun living his dream life in a quaint French town, working with dogs and traveling the world. She remarked, “If he had a thought, he never believed he couldn’t do it and just went for it.”
