This past Tuesday, my family and I had the distinct pleasure of attending a live comedy show that was hosted by Charmin featuring comedian and improv artist, Wayne Brady in New York City. Aside from the fact that my husband has always been a fan of Mr. Brady, I was very excited to be a part of an event that was supporting such a great cause. The “Keep It Clean” Comedy Show aimed to clean up potty humor so it could be enjoyed by people of all ages.

You see, for each tweet received throughout the month of September, using the hashtag #PottyHumor, Charmin will be donating $1 to Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC), up to $10,000. As a Leukemia Survivor, I can’t think of a better way for Charmin to give back in such a generous way. RMHC provides stability and vital resources to families so they can get, and keep, their children healthy and happy through programs like Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile that enable family-centered care.

The event was hosted by Wayne Brady and featured eight high school students and aspiring comedians between the ages of 14-18. Ultimately, they were judged on their ability to successfully deliver bathroom humor and innuendos without involving inappropriate or explicit content. When asked what made him want to participate in this initiative, Brady stated that he loves making people smile and considers RMHC to be a charity that is close to his heart.

My family and I really enjoyed being part of a live audience that got to see these talented young people each deliver five minutes of their best clean potty humor routines. A grand prize of $5,000.00 was awarded to Heaven, Cristal and their school’s theater department to help further their comedic educations. Photos and videos from the event can be found across Charmin’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

This looks like a fun event and a great cause. I am always more open about potty talk but I still find many get offended lol So I am unsure if a good example
Kudos to Charmin for doing this for a great cause. We’ve got a lot of potty bloopers when my kids were babies. I would definitely be tweeting them.
We saw Wayne Brady live once when he was filming his pilot for the Wayne Brady show. He is as nice in person as you would think he was!
What a fun sounding day out and I have to admit I do get the giggles when pottyhumour jokes come up.
I was excited for your hubby meeting someone he is a fan off! Good laughs and a great cause is an awesome combination. Got to get tweeting those jokes!
What a fun event to attend. I don’t know that I have any PG pottyhumor jokes that I remember.
I think this is a great cause. I can’t think of any good potty humor jokes though!
I love the cause they are supporting. I have 3 boys so potty humor is always going at our house – I can let you borrow a few things to tweet!
This is a cool promo. I love Wayne Brady! Comedy can be clean and funny too!
It has been years since my kids were potty trained. It was always funny to hear the two kids talk about it. We used to put Cheerios in the toilet bowl for my Son to aim at and my Daughter would be jealous.
This looks like a great event. I will have to start tweeting so i can help raise some money for a great cause.
Sounds like a great time! We are Charmin users ourselves, with 5 kids definitely reduces toilet clogs!
Oh how awesome. I nautical adore Wayne Brady so that I bet was awesome. This sounds like a great idea for a great cause! Awesome of Charmin!
I think the Charmin bear is cute! I’m sure my kids would have fun coming up with some clean potty humor!
That would have been a fun show. I love that they are doing a campaign to help the Ronald McDonald House, it has helped so many families that I personally know.
What a wonderful cause! I wish I had some good potty humor jokes, but can’t think of any off the top of my head. We do still joke to my oldest how she would scream every time she was done in the bathroom, “Come wipe my butt!”
I am a fan of Wayne Brady as well. Sounds like a great evening.
I saw tweets about this and wondered what was going on. How fun! I’m happy to learn what it was all about by stopping over here. 🙂
Wow. Charmin did a good job initiating this campaign. It is great to see that there are comedy acts that cater to audience of all ages!
Sounds like a different idea. Tweeting a joke for a cause is a great concept & I am sure Charmin is doing a great job for a great cause. The event looks fun packed, hope you had a great time out there.
That looks like so much fun. Like that they give back to a great cause.
RMHC was a life send when we needed it. I always have people donate directly to them when they ask which charity I love.
I absolutely adore Wayne Brady! He come up with the best jokes ever! I wish I could think of a joke off the top of my head but nothing comes to mind. Charmin is the brand we use in the household here, we love the softness it provides on our bottoms.
This is such a cool cause! I love Wayne Brady- his humor is clean, but good. My 3 year old doesn’t uite get potty humor yet, but I know her father is teaching her 😉
What a fun event and for a great cause too. I’m so glad to see Mr. Brady coming back to what he loves after a difficult period in his life… This is very inspiring and I plan to take a look at the videos and share them too.
This event looks like so much fun, I know your family had a blast. Mr. Brady is a very funny guy.
Oh it looks like so much fun! I would have loved to be at that event I bet it was one laugh after another. My kids and their potty humor are constant companions. Even the 3 year old can crack a poop joke.
I actually don’t know any potty jokes clean or otherwise–maybe I have just forgotten them? I think this is a great thing that Charmin is/has done. It sounds like a very good, clean time was had by all!
We usually think “potty” jokes are pretty appropriate for everyone, they are funny and everyone knows gross things are funny.
What a fun event as well as for a great cause. Glad to hear it was good, clean “potty” jokes. BTW, Charmin is the only toilet tissue my family will use.
