Comedian Kent Rader.

If you love comedy but are tired of comedians using profanity as a punch line, you won’t want to miss Branson Comedy Festival winner, Kent Rader, on January 15, 2014 at 7:30 pm in a benefit performance for Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. Known as The World’s Cleanest Comedian and Speaker (as much for his obsessive-compulsive tendencies as for his clean comedy), Kent Rader’s clean, stand-up comedy show will take you on a journey you won’t want to end, sharing stories about marriage, children, grandchildren, and his failed career as an accountant. Kent has authored the stress reduction book titled Let It Go, Just Let It Go and co-stars in the Baby Boomer Comedy Show, Clean Comedy for People Born Before Seat Belts. He has been heard on NPR’s Talk of the Nation, Sirius Satellite radio, and Comcast’s comedy show, Who’s Laughing Now.
