I love going to see comedians live, but prefer ones that keep it clean (no or limited swearing, no sexual humor). The ones that I have seen recently are:

Tim Hawkins
John Crist
Michael Jr.

I have tickets to see Jim Gaffigan in Sioux Falls in June (on my birthday).

Does anyone have suggestions for other (clean) comedians that they have seen that they like?

I enjoy all the ones you mentioned above. I would also highly recommend Brian Regan. I have included a clip below. I also like Ken Davis and John Branyan (I also included a clip of his).

Andy Andrews. Prolific author of great books also.

Besides those already mentioned, Sebastian Maniscalco is pretty clean. He said he's made it a point to structure his act so the whole family can enjoy his show together.
 
Anthony Jeselnik

Just kidding, of course.

Nate Bargatze is a funny dude and relatively unknown. What I've seen is clean but I've never seen him live.
 
Another vote for Regan and Mulaney. I've seen Regan live twice.

Other possibilities.

Gary Gulman ... occasional profanity, but it's always within context of the routine and not distracting. One of my favorite bits:



Another "clean" act.

 
Agree with the poster above, Gulman is A+. His Trump/Gates bit from like 10 years ago holds up so well.
 
I don't have any suggestions besides the ones mentioned, but I do agree with the OP that clean stand-up is great. Repeated F-bombs and distasteful sexual jokes are low-hanging fruit in the comedy world.

Agree, some of his stuff is hilarious. A little hit-and-miss but for the most part solid. His bit about today's night club scene is really good.

A lot of his act is watching him. I think that is what has brought him the popularity he now has, he is very animated on stage. I think if clean comedy is what you are looking for, you would have to check out his work.
