Fool Face

I like to listen to comedy but very few people I am actually aloud to listen to are clean. can you find comedians that are family friendly but are truly funny.

If you look at comedians or funny people – they usually are funny looking.

How come good looking/beautiful people are not that funny ?

I recently discovered some very funny stand up comedy skits on youtube, such as Jim Gaffigan and KEvin James. I am looking for more CLEAN comedians whose shows I can watch on youtube.
I would appreciate the help.
Thank you
sorry, Stephen Lynch is not a clean comedian at all

By Sarah BallYeah, yeah, yeah–brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes. not to take issue with Shakespeare, but it’s more than long-windedness that kills a joke. it takes no words to dumbly smash a watermelon, or to grunt in mockery of the speech-impaired. There are just some people, of few words or many, that have the remarkable gift of making us not laugh. lest they toil without recognition of their skills, here’s our hat tip to a dirty dozen of the world’s least funny comedians:

As I’ve mentioned previously, Comix is one of my favorite new York City comedy clubs. And it sure didn’t disappoint Friday night when we saw the hilarious Ted Alexandro and “Friends” Pete Dominick, Joe Derosa, and Morgan Murphy.

Headliner Alexandro, a former elementary school music teacher, was the highlight of the evening. I love his comic sensibility, his pacing and his fearless use of silence. But hubby mark and I also enjoyed the other comedians, especially Morgan Murphy, who somehow manages to sound both depressed and funny at the same time.

Getting back to Alexandro, in one segment of his routine Alexandro waxes funny about teaching little kids the recorder (presumably the children’s version, known as a flutophone.)

This comedy bit inspired me (an oboe performance major who once taught the oboe) to write a limerick in honor of Alexandro’s transition from music teacher to standup comic:

Limerick Ode To Ted Alexandro
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A funny young fellow named Ted,
Who majored in musical ed,
Taught kiddies recorduh.
An instrument? Sorta.
But now he’s a comic, instead.
