Carlin at Carnegie
Directed by Steven J. Santos
Produced by HBO, Cable Stuff Productions
A high-energy stand-up performance that blends irreverent social commentary with sharp observational humor, delivered with infectious comedic momentum.
Recorded at Carnegie Hall, New York City in 1982, released in 1983. Most of the material comes from his A Place for My Stuff, the album released earlier that same year. The final performance of "Seven Dirty Words," his last recorded performance of the routine, features Carlin's updated list.
