Clean comedy. The words alone might draw laughs from some.
Al Fike offers just that at Christian Comedy Night, where “Holy Smoke!” is the closest thing to an expletive booming from the stage. His premise is simple: Offer a venue where individuals – and families – can enjoy an evening of comedy without vulgarity. Call it novel, but it’s one man’s crusade to clean up comedy.
“People come purely out of curiosity sometimes,” says Fike, 48, a full-time comic and motivational speaker who lives in Richardson, Texas. “They wonder, ‘Can there really be moral things to do with a family that don’t leave people feeling embarrassed?’”
The answer is yes at the once-monthly Christian Comedy Night at Dallas-area comedy club, The Improv. Some 18 months after its beginning, the idea now has moved to other communities and churches, including White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth.
