Kinison Due--or Is He?

Sam Kinison fans, eager for the chance to see the comedian in a small venue, are plucking up tickets quickly for an advertised April 23 date at the Laff Stop in Newport Beach. The first show at the 280-seat club is sold out and tickets--at $25 a pop--are selling fast for a 10 p.m. show. There may be bad news for ticket-holders, however: Though the club insists that the date is firm, Kinison’s assistant says it has not yet been finalized.
