Reporter Wendy Davis Johnson writes:<\/p>\n

“The delight McCoy gets from street performing and his comfort with his audience are clear. His effervescent personality and adroit physical comedy prompt easy laughter and steady applause.”<\/p>\n

McCoy, who majored in studio art at Bates, tells Johnson that “if you gave me a choice between doing two of these shows and a regular paycheck, I wouldn’t think twice. It’s all about the joy.”<\/p>\n

McCoy’s show, Comedy That Works<\/a><\/strong>, has been among just 13 acts approved to perform in the open air spaces at Faneuil Hall this summer. “Performers come from around the world to try and get a space here,” he tells Johnson.<\/p>\n
