Comedy Works Larimer Square to Welcome Ari Shaffir, 1/28-31

Stand-up comedian and actor Ari Shaffir describes his comedy as a puppet show, but way filthier and without the puppets.  Now with two one-hour stand-up specials and his own late night television series, Ari and his "gifted comic unyielding" are becoming "a real force to be reckoned with" (LA Weekly).

BWW Reviews: A CARLIN HOME COMPANION a Winner at the Falcon

Whereas contemporary parents struggle to keep their children away from drugs and alcohol, Kelly Carlin spent her girlhood trying to keep her parents clean and sober, Growing up with George Carlin and his wife Brenda was not the easiest task, as young Kelly figuratively spent many useless years on a street corner trying to find herself, who she truly was and what she wanted to do with her life. In a one-woman odyssey of self-discovery Carlin manages to get us to truly like her and still keep alive and in the center spotlight the sheer genius of her dad, comic icon George Carlin. My only qualm is that the show now onstage at the Falcon Theatre in Burbank could be trimmed down a tad, but overall it is engaging entertainment. A Carlin Home Companion will soon be a book published by St. Martin's Press and you can catch Kelly and her family portrait onstage through March 1.
