This comedy club in new york is unabashedly Mormon and clean. If you come to this club you're met with a challenge, that you can have a fun time without alcohol or even coffee. You can. Mormons do it all the time. It also has stand-up comedy. Where the comedian is not allowed to go blue at all and has his/her Challenge to get through a whole set without going blue.

The audience shouts and jeers to get this person to do the dunking. Comedians know what they're getting into and it's a fun challenge bantering with the audience ("don't you pull that lever!"). They know they can go to farts, boogers, underwear but beyond that it's dunk time. Throughout the night there are games and people who know how to really party that make it so super fun.

And if you have a problem you can contact Mr Chief of Police or you can vote for the other guy when reelection time comes up. Also you have all these other people working for you including the mayor, governor, and up. If you think things should be run differently (and chances are they should) you should write to this person, or attend this meeting, or vote this way. Essentially demystify the behemoth o...
