Colin Quinn: Red State Blue State

This guy is funny. He does tell it like it is. Today we all hide behind a keyboard, here I am, and put our 2 cents in. It's good to laugh at life and ourselves. If we don't laugh we will drop to our knees and give up. So laugh out loud and at each other because it's just funny!

I wrote this when Colin Quinn did his New York Experience show-Colin Quinn is super smart. He is also a very good stand up comedian. This intelligent and historically supported special looks at the origins and the current state of political division in the United States in the 21st Century. He does a great job of articulating, using interesting language, the problem. He doesn't;t do a great job of proposing a solution, but I am not sure that is his job. As a comedian it is his job to make us think and he really, really does that. I think it is clear he leans left, but there is no apparent hate, or contempt for the Right. His contempt is equal for ideologues. This one is very good.

On Netflix this morning Honestly, I have been waiting for a new George Carlin to appear to fill a particular void in American consciousness. Found. Fabulous...

A comedy masterclass. His jokes are top Colin He stands out amidst all the rubbish that's on Netflix. One of the greatest comedians of our time. Simple.

This is a really well written and performed comedic meditation on the current condition of the United States. I've watched a lot of Quinn over the years and I am pretty sure this is the best thing he's done.

His conclusions that it's all basic coming to an end is depressing and I'm not convinced he's right about that, but he's right about the current state of things.

Lots of really clever observations here and his take-down of all 50 states, one-by-one is particularly memorable.
