So what do you mean when you say clean comedy? |
We define clean as somewhere between club clean and TV Clean
Club Clean varies by the club. One club may be okay with cursing but not with sex jokes. Once might be okay with sex jokes but no drug references.
So if you are unsure what club clean means to the club, it is always best to ask. When someone says, “Hey, I want you to do clean”, make them be specific. Ask them what you are allowed to talk about or not allowed to talk about. When I have been e-mailed by comedians that are coming on my clean comedy show I spell out what is clean.
There is no blue, no sex. You can make innuendos about drugs. You can make innuendos about relationships. But you can’t say any acts. You can’t say any drugs and you can’t act them out. For example in a club clean show, you can’t say, “I’m snorting cocaine.” But you can say, I snorted this thing the other day.
So clean when it comes to clean, it’s no, it’s not talking about sexual relations and no talking about drugs. Club clean definitely does not allow for talking about murder, rape, or hard profanity.
TV clean varies by every show and every network. Usually, it’s cursing that is blocked by TV. If you are familiar with the history of comedy you have probably heard of George Carlin’s Seven Words You Can’t Say On TV bit.
Now you can say some of those words on TV. Sure not network TV but TV nonetheless. It didn’t use to be that way but thanks to cable TV you can say some words and innuendos on network TV that even a few years ago were a no-go.
