Clean family-friend comedian?

A classic my kids have always loved is Abbot and Costello's "Who's on First?"

There is a youtube channel called DryBar comedy. It is all meant to be clean. Good way to watch a little of different comics.

Jeff Arcuri is pretty clean but he does a lot of crowd work so I don't know if that would translate to audio.

The guy from King of Queens. Kevin…James maybe?

Mike Birbiglia!

Has he said that? I am sure he leans that way but I guess if he’s not actively supporting, I’m ok. He is a huge Vanderbilt fan. That’s a big part of his personality.

I think he's apolitical/doesn't think about politics, but definitely has MAGA family because he's from Tennessee and just wants to not be political in general. Obviously a privileged position of a straight white man, and conveniently useful for his career since it allows MAGA people to enjoy his comedy without feeling threatened. I assume if you see him in the MAGA-friendly places, it's a lot of MAGA people.

BUT his humor is not MAGA at all and to my knowledge he's never crossed that line and, for instance, performed for any political event that endorsed MAGA or Trump. That's a hard line for me.

There might be something beneficial for there to be a non problematic entertainer who appeals to MAGA and non-MAGA people. Like maybe there is still some culture in common? Even if a lot of it is dumb dad jokes.

Some people simply waste too much time on stupid stuff like this instead of just laughing and enjoying life.

It must be exhausting to live like this.

Do you mean Sheng Wang?

Also agree with Mike Birbiglia, Nate Bargatze and Ray Romano.

My government related company hired Bob Newhart for the annual awards dinner. I've always loved him and think he's funny.

Well, his routine violated several of the ethics scenarios we had all been trained in, and he even made some jokes based on race. I thought the HR reps had to be falling off their chairs. I was sitting with some senior managers and was afraid to laugh at some of his stuff, worried that they might think less of me. But I still had him sign his book that they gifted everyone. I wondered if someone got reprimanded for not fully vetting Newhart's routine before booking him.

He was sitting 2 rows behind Trump at the UFC match this weekend, so I guess that answers the MAGA question.

That’s so disappointing. Based on his SNL history sketches, I really thought he was better than that. I guess Keenan was writing half of the jokes.
