I hope they are keeping it clean. That is the way he would have wanted it. I remember a show he did after retirement and after the comedy world had changed drastically. At the end of the show he asked if everyone enjoyed it at which time he got a huge applause. He then stated that he specifically did that return performance to show young comedians coming up that you do not to talk vulgar and use sexual jokes to make people laugh. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/hot-summer-deal-for-best-afternoon-comedy-show-in-las-vegas#post-159 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:07:01 +0000 FredScholtz 159@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Las Vegas is heating up for a great summer.
