Back in Town

by George Carlin

Back in Town cover art

Returning to the Beacon Theatre in New York, the comedian hones the fiercely aggressive social commentary that defined his late-career renaissance. The special famously dissects the fragility of the pro-life movement, capital punishment, and the euphemistic softening of modern American language. It firmly cemented his reputation as an unforgiving, philosophical critic operating entirely outside traditional comedy boundaries.
