Tim Hawkins The Clean Comedian

Some things are funny and some things just aren’t! Have you ever been to a comedy show and felt embarrassed by the base and crude humor that is spewing from the mouth of the comedian? I have often wondered why people seem to think that vulgarity and filth are funny, perhaps some would just call me to puritanical, but I have always been impressed by those who can invoke laughter without using base insinuations. In my search for some good clean fun, I stumbled upon a wonderful clean comedian, Tim Hawkins.

The famous comedian Milton Berle once said, “Laughter is an instant vacation.” I think that he is so right. No matter what is pressing on your mind, or what trials you may be facing, a little bit of laughter seems to take you away and transcend you to another plane of thought, even if it is just for a moment.

Simply stated, “Laughter is the best medicine” for what ever ills you. I believe that good clean laughter is a gift. Tim Hawkins has a gift to make people laugh in a wholesome robust way.

Another famous comedian Bob Newhart stated, “Laughter gives us distance.  It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.”  Many times a situation that is brewing can be defused by simply allowing your sense of humor to shine.  A good laugh can mend fences as well.  We take ourselves entirely too seriously at times.  How refreshing it would be to lighten the burdens that we face, by gaining some real perspective, and taking a moment to simply laugh. 

Tim Hawkins takes everyday situations that we are all familiar with, and applies that simple clean humorous twist to them, showing us it is fun to actually laugh at ourselves. 

Tim describes one of the reasons he chooses to be a clean comedian,

“Survival mode, pure and simple. I learned comedy in front of a lot of multi-generational audiences, so I had to find material that would cater to all ages. It’s a thrill to provide a family connection where they can share the experience… and then take a DVD home for another family comedy night. But really, I think my fans are probably just the same people who voted for Sanjaya.”

From the Website Tim Hawkins Comedy, we learn this about him:

"With 4 kids of his own and a wife who is winning her battle with breast cancer, Hawkins gets new material daily from the perils of marriage and parenting. But it must be difficult to work clean all the time, right? 'Clean comedy is easy. Funny comedy is hard.' So does Tim think he’s funny? 'I'm not bragging, but one time I told a joke in front of a dead bird, and it flew away. And you can Google that.'"

 Tim Hawkins is just the clean comedian to help us do it!
