Colin Quinn: Red State Blue State. I mentioned this in the old standup thread, but I recently discovered that I've been sleeping on this guy for 20 years because he sucked on Weekend Update so I just assumed he wasn't funny. He's a legitimately great comic, and is at his best in this "one man show" format where the whole thing is a perfectly crafted 60-minute story as opposed to a bunch of bits that aren't necessarily connected to each other. I previewed his "New York Story" recently, and you may don't remember that I really enjoyed it. Well this one was way better IMHO. Just a brilliant take on the current... state /31 of how retarded we all are. Shits on both sides equally and humorously. There aren't as many laugh out loud individual jokes as some folks might look for from a traditional standup show, but the whole thing is just really fucking clever and funny. Towards the end he does a tour of the 50 states, with a line or 2 about each one, and I LOL'd at like half of them. That bit is probably the highlight of the show, but the whole thing was great. Strong rec, and if you watch it and don't like it, then fuck off.
