George Carlin: Life Is Worth Losing

Some look at life on the bright side. He prefers the grave side.

A caustic, intellectually sharp stand-up special that uses dark humor and absurdist riffs on death, consumerism, and human decay to interrogate meaning and mortality.

Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.
