Sun-Times discovers corporate comedy

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 18th, 2005

Ted Pincus, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times (“Certifiable comedians cleaning up with humor”), talks to Adam Christing, founder of Clean Comedians, Inc. (of L.A.), then finishes big with quotes from Chicago-based Tim Clue. Paragraph two:

The impetus has been corporate America’s recent trend to let its hair down, and replace deadly serious, stuffy sales seminars and employee conferences with events that mix business with levity. To do that, of course, and remain politically correct and harassment-suit-proof requires a guaranteed clean comedian.

Not much new here for anyone who is familiar with corporate gigs and how they work, but worth a click. (The initial paragraph did make the hair stand up on the neck, however–“…he’s leading a crusade to clean up the nation’s comedy act…”– We thought for a millisecond that Mr. Christing was actually going to try to get comedians to clean up!)
