  3. I am not up to date on comedians. I mean, I like a good laugh. Who doesn’t? But vulgarity and cursing are a huge turn off for me. Would you say Jeff Dunham is clean comedy? If so, I would be interested in watching him. ~Jennifer

  4. He is hilarious! I had a friend go see him before he got famous. She got the tickets for free from someone and went and had no clue who he was! She stood at the stage and he used her throughout his act! Too funny!!! LifeAsLex
