Red State Blue State

See it if Very funny and insightful. Amusing lines and insights from the show will come back to you later.

Don't see it if you don't want to think about politics, if you don't like Colin Quinn or one person comedy shows.

Also I went to see Colin Quinn workshopping this show over two years ago and went about three times after that to see him again. Amazing how long it takes to get any comedy show right, and how much care and work goes into it. Interesting to see the finished product. Last night I went to the taping of Red State Blue State for the TV special it will become. I heartily recommend people watch that when it comes out!... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy cerebral comedy.

Don't see it if MAGA is your life mantra.

Also Over the years, I have seen several of Quinn's one man show. In particular, I thought his 2010 show - Long Story Short- was EXCELLENT. Since then, I have been using IT as a measuring stick for every show of his that has come after. While Red State Blue State was entertaining, it was NOT as well constructed as Long Story Short and thus I left feeling let down as a devoted audience member. Still, the eighty minute show will make you laugh and that's what a comedy piece is intended to do.... Read more Read less

Also Colin Quinn has always been a reliable mainstay in the New York alt comedy scene. More than just a stand up comedian, he crafts excellent solo shows that highlight what makes him so unique and insightful. No matter your political affiliation, you are almost certainly going to be entertained by Quinn. He's not polarizing or alienating. He's a rational and gentle equal opportunity offender. The audience I saw this show with seemed to universally enjoy it. This is one of Quinn's stronger plays. It's focused, sharply written, and frequently hilarious. It doesn't ramble as much as some of his previous work. If solo comedy shows aren't your thing, this won't win you over. But for anyone else, this is a lot of fun.... Read more Read less

Also Comedian and former SNLer Colin Quinn is fed up with the State of the Union--and makes no bones about it--in his heavily politicized solo show, "Red State Blue State". Ranging from routines on alternate forms of government (socialism and communism, for example) to the notion that the United States ought to be dissolved and divided into city-states instead, all the way through to a clever closing bit in which he lists the states alphabetically and lampoons each one, Quinn clearly has a lot to say. (He even manages to insert an anecdote or two about what it was like in the "old days", when he was growing up.) Quinn isn't exactly a polished performer, and even at 75 minutes the piece does drag a bit, but there are plenty of laughs, and if he ever brings it back...see it.... Read more Read less
