A service will be held for comedian Dave Swan (John Henry David Jones) at noon Tuesday at the Christ Episcopal Church, 2100 S. Maryland Parkway.
The 69-year-old native of Wales died of cancer earlier this week at the Odyssey Health Care Hospice.
For almost 17 years, Swan performed in two Vegas shows — doing comedy in “Viva Las Vegas” in the afternoons and reigning as the King in “Tournament of Kings” at the Excalibur in the evenings.
