– Comedian Guy Owen
Maybe this isn’t your idea of unbridled hilarity. But a growing number of L.A.-area Protestant congregations are craving such squeaky-clean ha-has–and they’re turning their pews into makeshift comedy clubs to get them. Why? Regular nightclub comics have become too raunchy for their tender ears. Booking agencies like Clean Comedians in La Mirada, Calif., are thrilled. They’re so busy they’re planning to franchise in Chicago and Dallas this year.
