For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I agree with Cloverjo, yes there are, and I agree with 2 or 3 of those listed as being worth a try. I'm not against swearing in comedy routines, it can work well. But I do like Tim Vine, who does rapid-fire groan-inducing but usually very funny puns, if you prefer a "clean" act. I'm not keen on any of the acts listed in the OP.
You could argue against the "need" for pretty much anything in entertainment but it's not a reason to not do it. I don't get why people get so focused on swearing, or are so black and white as to dismiss all comedy that includes swearing. It's not necessarily making any claim to be "clever", and there is plenty of non-swearing comedy that really isn't clever.
