A Port Gibson man whose health problems aren’t keeping him from telling jokes will perform at Vicksburg Auditorium May 27.

Will Speed, for the past two years, has suffered from meningitis and tumors on his brain.

“They removed two,” said the 28-year-0ld who graduated from Port Gibson High School in 2001, “but I have two more. The doctors don’t know what’s causing them to grow.”
