You might say Rodney Carrington, comedian, television star and movie star, is the Barbra Streisand of the com­edy world, though he probably wouldn’t say that.

Like Streisand, he has rocked the CD sales, with hot-selling comedy albums on the Billboard charts.

Like Streisand, he’s made movies — well, one movie, “Beer for My Horses.”

He sings. Like an angel, with a twang.

And he’s had his own television show, too, called “Rodney,” which ran for two seasons on ABC.

Now all that’s left to do is hit Broad­way and go for that Tony Award, not that Carrington has thought about Broadway quite yet.

He just wants to make people laugh.

After “Rodney” wrapped up pro­duction, Carrington said, “I high-tailed it outta there.”
