Carlin charms Long Beach crowd with zany satire
Denise Kusel reports George Carlin turned a Long Beach Auditorium show into a delightful night of sharp, childhoood-rooted humor. He uses multiple voices and playful twists on fairy tale figures, leaving audiences amused rather than frustrated. Kenny Rankin opened with passable songs, but overshadowed by Carlin’s humor.
