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.
