Clean Comedians
A lot of people don’t like swearing and dirty humor…fair enough. Here are some really great clean comedians in L.A. that I recommend.
Bone Hampton
Kerri Pomarolli
Ron McGehee
Bernadette Balagtas
Michael Batts
Visit their pages…they are really funny and cool people. Being a clean comedian is the most difficult thing to do in stand-up comedy. I have a huge amount of respect for these people. It’s easy to get a laugh by simply saying “fuck”. But to get people to laugh without swearing…those are what I call “mic skills”. You’ll be listening to these comedians…and about 5 minutes in…you’ll realize…they have not said a curse word once…but you are still laughing like crazy. It’s amazing.
On a side note…the best clean comedian in the country is Jim Gaffigan. HE’S UNREAL! I’ve seen him do 7 minutes on bacon at Largo.

I couldn’t agree with your more. Jim Gaffigan is phenomenal, and it is definitely more of a challenge to be funny without cursing or using shock value. Interestingly, several of the names you listed are also known as “Christian comedians”. They are clean by default.

Good Call Lyncoln. Didn’t mean to forget Brian Regan. I haven’t see him live because he doesn’t seem to be in L.A. too often. But I’ll keep an eye out.
