Billy Knight

 is a street comedian living on The Strip. He stands outside of the The Tops Casino, next to a gate dividing The Strip. During the mission Talent Pool, the Courier has the option of recruiting Billy to perform his act for the patrons of Tommy Torini's Aces Theater, located in the casino. Billy is desperate for the work, and offers to perform for as low as 10 caps a night; however, with a high enough Barter skill, he can be convinced to persuade Torini of his true worth as an act.

Background
Billy Knight is a longtime professional comedian who has clearly fallen on hard times. His act is 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.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Glitches

 * If the player speaks with Billy before recruiting him for Torini, he will chastise them for interrupting his patter. This implies that Billy was meant to be performing an act on the street for spare caps, which would explain his static presence outside of the Tops.


 * During the course of his routine, Billy will make a joke about Tops chieftain Benny paying his salary; Billy will make this joke even if Benny is dead or has fled The Strip while other NPCs in the theater are talking about the mobster's recent disgrace.


 * Like all the other performers at The Aces, Billy will remain silently on the stage after his act has concluded if his allotted time there has not been met. Furthermore, he may walk straight off of the stage and into the audience, instead of down the side stairs.
