Clean Comedians

Although it is loud, bombastic, and potty mouth comedians tend to get the most publicity, it should be noted that the clean comedians also found a prominent place in the entertainment world. Their core audience is traditionally in corporate outings and conventions. However, in today's world we may find these non-vulgar talent is becoming more prevalent in mainstream areas such as television and nightclubs. And of course, they continue to do well in small, traditional niches such as class reunions, church groups, etc.

In reality, this trend toward the mainstream was somewhat forced by financial problems running rampant in the corporate world. Many highly pure comedy acts have felt the pinch of reduced corporate spending for non-essential employee benefit. Employment comedian, for example, give a motivational talk at the meeting seems to have been categorized as non-essential for corporate executives. Its refreshing to see these comedians to find new outlets for their talents.

Here are two prime examples of successful clean comedians:

Clean comedians Example # 1: Brian Regan

Brian Regan is probably the first name on the list either of pure comedy. He developed an act that is absolutely killing the audience, from kids to grandparents to evangelical Christians, with nary a curse word.

It was not always so with Regan, however. When he started in 1981 and was known to spice up a scarf drop the occasional F-bomb, but in the end he eliminated them from his act.

"I started thinking," If you're close to the goal anyway, why not just put the ball over the line? '"he says." It seemed kind of silly to be 95 percent pure. might as well be 100 percent clean and see what happens ."

Although his comedy can best be described as silly, but-hilarious observational humor ("holding a circus Funhouse Mirror" in society is how he describes it), he deliberately avoided stepping on the toes.

"I do not want my comedy to be devoid of perspective, " he says. "I'll give them the gift of knowing I'm not going to throw all four-letter words in there and I'm not going to guess on any sexual themes. But besides that, I reserve the right to be able to say something on stage.I must to be able to risk bumping against a topic here or there that could have someone go, 'Wow, I disagree with that. "That's fine. I do not want to be healthy so that no matter whatever ."

Example # 2: Ryan Hamilton

Ryan Hamilton has a clean comedian, who grew up in Idaho. He now makes his home, and usually performs in New York, where he made ​​quite a name for himself. His forte is clean humor with a little taste of Mormon. The interesting twist is honey to him is one of the best clean comedians in the industry. In fact he was recently named one of Rolling Stone magazine's "Five Comics to Watch" and appeared in the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. Not bad for a guy who never resorts to vulgarity to get a laugh.

Hamilton says he is trying to be authentic and true to himself when he comes with its mixture of observation, energized comedy. "For me, it does not feel as though I myself changed as a person, or concessions .... talk about what I think is ridiculous, " he said. "I do not think about (vulgar) jokes and go 'Oh, I can not do it .'... It just does not come up when I write ."

Hamilton goes on to say that his focus is on clean comedy is not so much a moral decision as a matter of credibility. He said that not only want to be clear, though. He wants to do comedy that leaves people feeling happier than when they came, as opposed to negative, heavy mood that lingers long after the pessimistic or cynical comedian leaves the stage.

"You can go on the show and laughing a lot and come out feeling heavy, as though it speaks of the strip may be super funny, it can still have a tough tone, " he said. "You can cry and laugh out show a sense of" whew, I kind of feel sorry for that type of life. His life was really hard, and boy, there are many problems in the world .'... While it is important to place it in a comedy, I'm just kind of decided that I want people to laugh a lot and get a good feeling ."

If I were him, he says: "I want to be a good comedian, who happens to be Mormon, but Mormon comedian. Amen that!

Conclusion:

with such a vulgar comedian running rampant on cable, I think we can all be thankful for the talents, such as Hamilton and Ragen. It is well known that humor may not be terrible, and it is not necessary to be offensive to be funny.
