Red State Blue State

See it if You lean toward Blue State humor. Can be bitingly funny; yet has it's serious side: our Founding Fathers; and Constitution. Separate States?

Don't see it if You lean more toward Red State humor. You are a Constitution and Founding Fathers expert. Aw shucks, go see it anyway. He is funny.

See it if you enjoy thoughtful reflections that connect our past to our present from a terrifically clever, affable host; can laugh about your flaws!

Don't see it if averse to political topics; determined to keep head in sand, hold fast to your prejudices, assumptions; prefer to pursue an unexamined life.

See it if Colin does a great job of talking about the issues without insulting either side. He definitely makes you think. Very funny.

Don't see it if If you don’t like one-person shows or topical comedy.

See it if You like comedy. You want to hear a comical yet relevant take on politics. You want to hear some relevant, intelligent and funny stuff.

Don't see it if You don't like comedy. You don't like a one man show. You don't like to laugh. You don't like politics in any form.

See it if you like to laugh! Don’r Miss it if you’re a Colin Quinn fan. I enjoyed it much more than his last show st the Cherry Lane

Don't see it if you’re grumpy or a Scrooge. Otherwise, go and enjoy a night of laughs

See it if Funny jokes about liberals and conservatives. The political process is being mocked at its best.

Don't see it if You do not like jokes about rednecks. Or do not have a sense of humor.

See it if You like intelligent political humor without all the rancor or if you're a fan of Quinn. This piece is a bit of a history lesson as well.

Don't see it if You're not in the mood for political jokes, one-man shows, or simply Colin Quinn. I hate stand-up comedy, but loved this.

Also Quinn manages to deliver so much, while making you feel you're with a guy you just met at a bar. You never feel he's trying to make you laugh.
He's casual, yet intense about the subject matter, and it was refreshing to see him right before the President's speech last night. I said this piece was miraculous because he managed to talk about current politics for over an hour without inspiring the hysteria that seems obligatory these days from an audience.

Give it a week before you go -- they need to work out some of the sound issues. There are times when you don't hear the end of his sentence -- he needs to adjust to this house. I didn't see any earphones available.

Some comics are just outrageous, but Quinn makes you think "Yeah, that could work" on several of his suggestions for improving our country.

He's warm and sincere and doesn't rely on sex or potty jokes or bad language to get his humor across. That gets a big thumbs-up from me!

See it if You like to laugh and you don't mind laughing at yourself. You like political humor.

Don't see it if You don't like Colin Wuinn or you want something serious.

Also My friend and I had a great time, and the rest of the audience seemed to also. We laughed from start to finish. He paints some very funny mental images, such as Caligula using Tinder for the first time and the Golden Age of Greece being a centuries-long podcast. The jokes come fast and furious. But his act is more than just one-liners. The political commentary is very sophisticated and it has edge, but it's a gentle edge, sort of a ribbing. If you need a good laugh, go see this show!... Read more Read less

See it if Very entertaining fast paced evening. Standing O at the end. Quinn is in his own category as a comedian. Maybe not for everyone.

Don't see it if You have hearing issues. CQ speaks in quick spurts without many pauses. Liberals get a bashing as well - so beware.

See it if You are in the mood to watch a very funny, clever stand-up tell you his thoughts about current and past state of affairs in our country !

Don't see it if Will be offended that CQ goes after the Dems as well as the Republicans, though he’s clearly on the side of the Dems.

Also There’s one bit that is a bit lengthy and doesn’t work. Otherwise I would have scored this 95. It’s a very funny show.... Read more Read less

See it if You like Colin Quinn and want to see stand up about the times we live in. It was relatively clean and non offensive.

Don't see it if You don’t like relevant stand up comedy.

Also Show is very short - just over an hour. I wonder if it was cut a bit. I (and the audience) seemed surprised it was so short. Could have used another 10-15. This is just stand up comedy. If you expect more you will be disappointed. I found it surprisingly non offensive unless you were a founding father (but they are dead) or Donald Trump (should not be offensive to a trump supporter tho). And the show was relatively clean. I really enjoyed it.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy clever, politically-oriented humor. Like a questioning, "liberal" slant of comments on the current state of life in the USA.

See it if Quinn cleverly and amusingly walks the line between both political parties, using personal experiences and stories as highlights.

See it if You are up for more political commentary with Colin Quinn's specific solution.

Don't see it if you've had it with politics and the great divide in the U.S.

Also I went in knowing his premise, as he's been around the talk shows talking. He makes some interesting, thoughtful comments. I found the show intermittently funny, not over-the-top hilarious. Worth it to think about his ideas.... Read more Read less

See it if If you're a fan of Colin Quinn's acerbic and topical (and decidedly Democratic) humor

Don't see it if You're not a fan of one-man shows or political humor. You must have an "80 minute" show -- it was actually 65 minutes long.

Also I probably would have rated this higher if he acknowledged even once that there was an audience in the mezzanine (as I was), he never even looked up. Also, the temperature in the mezzanine became uncomfortably warm towards the end of the performance.... Read more Read less
