    The Comoedus (Second Capitulum) “Go on, smile! Feel the sides of your mouth begin to stretch and just let your face crack wide open!” These words were addressed to the audience by a stocky, suggestively smiling individual who made up one half of the newly formed comedy act: The Knight and Day Show!
