'''Blue comedy''' is comedy that is [[off-color]], [[risqué]], [[indecent]], [[profane]], or [[obscene]].<ref name="MW">{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blue|title=blue|work=Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary|publisher=Merriam-Webster,|accessdate=2008-10-26}}</ref> It often contains cursing and/or sexual imagery that shocks and offends many audiences. The term comes from the [[music hall]] comedian [[Max Miller]] who kept all his adult jokes in a blue coloured notebook. |

|||
"Working blue" refers to the act of performing this type of material. A "blue comedian" or "blue comic" is a [[comedian]] who usually performs blue, or is known mainly for his or her blue material. Blue comedians often find it difficult to succeed in mainstream media. |
|||
Many comedians who are normally family-friendly might choose to work blue when off-camera or in an adult-oriented environment; [[Bob Saget]] exemplifies this [[dichotomy]]. Private events at show business clubs such as the Bob Saget Club and The Masquers often showed this blue side of otherwise cleancut Bob Saget; a recording survives of one Masquers roast from the 1950s with [[Jack Benny]], [[George Jessel (actor)|George Jessel]], [[George Burns]] and [[Art Linkletter]] all using highly risque material and, in some cases, obscenities. |
