The company provides meeting and event planners with "Laughter You Can Trust."
Clean Comedians was founded in 1990 largely as an alternative to comics and entertainers like Andrew Dice Clay and Howard Stern who used profanity extensively in their performances. Adam Christing noticed the trend of more vulgar comedians and felt like there would be a sizable market for curse-free performers. Christing drafted the "10 Commandments of Comedy," which were essentially "clean" guidelines for performers offered to meeting and event planners. He would later devise the "NO G.R.O.S.S." pledge, which stated that performers could not incorporate gender bashing, racist jabs, obscenity, sexual innuendo, or swearing into their acts. These guidelines must be followed by entertainers featured on the Clean Comedians roster
