Kim Campbell, of the Christian Science Monitor, wrote an excellent piece on Christian comedians (and no, that's not an oxymoron.) I imagine it would be much more difficult to be a comedian these days, and not use vulgarity, sex, racism, etc. in your routine. Frankly I prefer it that way. Don't get me wrong; I grew up listening to George Carlin and Cheech and Chong, and I still think they are really funny. But I also think they could be just as funny without swearing or blaspheming the Lord. There are way too many things in this world to laugh at. I also really enjoyed Bill Cosby's old albums. His routine about Noah and the Lord is hilarious, and not dirty. It can be done. Here's hoping it happens more often.
