Re: Is there stand-up comedy for not-racist, not-sexist, not-homophobic, not-ageist people?

You might have a difficult time, because IMO, the best comedy doesn't have very many off-limits subjects, it's just more thoughtful about how those subjects are treated.

That said:

* Greg Davies - British comedian. His "Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog" DVD is one of the funniest things I've seen in my life, most of his comedy is self-deprecating and he's one of the few comedians I know of who doesn't take vicious potshots at people but still manages to be really funny.
* Dara O'Briain - Irish comedian who's a math/science geek. Also an atheist, but not particularly combative about it.
* Tim Minchin - Austalian musician/comedian who IS more combative about atheism, but in a funny way. See: Storm - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYkyB35zkk
* Sarah Millican - English comedian, very bawdy and all round hilarious, THE most successful female comedian in the UK
* Michael McIntyre - English comedian, most successful male comedian. I'd say his humor suffers because he's not at all edgy (unless you see him in panel shows which are more spontaneous and IMO, funnier) but he's not bad.

Seconding Sarah Millican (so, so much) and Michael McIntyre.
