A new wave of comedians is bringing clean, family-friendly stand-up back into the spotlight, with Nashville emerging as the movement's epicenter. Comics like Dusty Slay, Leanne Morgan, and Nate Bargatze are finding mainstream success by delivering relatable, inoffensive humor that appeals to broad audiences without relying on profanity or shock value. Their acts evoke the style of classic network television comedy, offering escapism and nostalgia while sidestepping cultural and political controversies. Unlike clean comics of the past, this new generation avoids judgment or sanctimony toward edgier material, instead treating clean comedy as a craft and a smart business move in an era of fragmented audiences and digital discovery.
