Anyone familiar with Janeane Garofalo? She may fit OP’s criteria …
Rolling stone lists her in top 50 stand up comics of all time and describes her as “Genial, self-deprecating and smart as a whip, Garofalo took on the casually incisive vibe of Mort Sahl while excoriating conservative politicians and making snide asides about bits of pop culture – from the "brilliant thespians" of Beverly Hills, 90210 to baffling Mentos commercials. Even now, Garofalo puts her sensibility and genuine feeling front and center, rather than create some regimented set that times punchlines as if on a metronome. Her comedy was never about dazzling the masses, even when she was the poster child for the then-in-vogue Nineties alterna-sensiiblity; she engages her crowd as though they’re all close friends wrangling with big issues and the latest Kardashian kerfuffle. Her intellectual chops and timing are peerless; her influence on turning the alt-comedy scene into a bona fide renaissance can't be underestimated.” |

Yes--his gun joke is golden. Brilliantly managed to observe the hypocrisy in this country about the incredible access to guns without actually wading into the politics of it. His latest special on Prime is genius all around. The faecbook marketplace bit had me in tears. Regan, Gaffigan, Seinfeld all clean and pretty PC. Would add Fortune Feimster to that list too. Taylor Tomlinson can get a little edgy but overall isn't offensive. |

That’s a pretty good list. It depends on what you consider offensive or clean I guess (they aren’t necessarily the same). I like Wanda Sykes too — she’s pretty insightful and not offensive for the shock value, which I feel like a lot of comedians are. |

I love Wanda Sykes (have followed her for decades), but she’s essentially the female version of Chris Rock. She’s not clean. But she’s hilarious! |

| I just watched Bill Barr's routine from Red Rocks. He's definitely not PC. I didn't find him offensive either, but mileage could easily vary on that one. |

Yeah, she’s a potty mouth but I don’t think she goes out of her way to offend people (unless you are Donald trump…). There’s a bit difference between clean and not offensive. Baratz is the best clean comic I can think of — he’s the only one I’d really watch with my kids under age 16. |

+1. Jeselnik is. But he’s way too much for most of these posters, I think. |
