Stand-up comic K-von tells jokes clean enough for Dry Bar Comedy.

That platform serves up PG-rated laughs, the kind the Persian-American delivers on stage and via his YouTube channel.

The University of Connecticut still had second thoughts about hosting K-von this week. A person responsible for his stand-up appearance, coordinated by the conservative Turning Point USA, canceled the March 11 gig. The comic learned of the cancellation less than three hours before show time, he says.

He had flown from Florida to Connecticut for the appearance. Why couldn’t the show go on?
