Furious George

Comedy

Three days before the one-year anniversary of Richard Pryor's death, his successor as The Greatest Living Stand-Up Comic is in town for one night only. George Carlin, who made those seven little words famous, hasn't toned down or slowed down his act a bit. Now 69, the first-ever guest host of SNL is still kicking up dirt, making us laugh and making us think with that iconic gravelly voice. Not enough? Remember — this is the guy who played Rufus in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. How can you not go? Sat., Dec. 9, 6 and 9:30 p.m., Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 N. McMullen-Booth Road , Clearwater, $39-$70, 727-791-7400, rutheckerdhall.com.
