It's not "stand up" comedy that you're used to. I think of his shows as a very funny history teacher. Sometimes the history gets in the way of the comedy, but there is nothing else like it around.

Brilliant
Funny While Frank. A much needed punch in the face.
Funny while being frank. One of the few intelligent and original stand-up specials I've seen in a while. An honest and fairly accurate account of how the US is today and has been for a long time. Quinn is unafraid to let fear invade his comedy as he speaks to the state of both conservative and liberal politics alike. He points out the missed opportunities, opportunities, and how some aren't happy once they get what they want because it isn't what they thought it would be. I'll be watching this again. For those wondering about language content, I can't say he did enough to throw up my parent alert alarms. He said s**t once near the end, but I think it jumped out because it had been such a clean routine. For those who do decide to watch this great comic at what may be his most timely and much-needed routine ever, don't flinch, take the punch in the face, and be honest with yourself that he's being real and doing it for your good. Every politician, voter, activist, and reporter should watch this.
A Brilliant Humorist
If you're launching into this expecting a rehash of Quinn's 2016 'The New York Story', or a generic, stale stand-up routine, you might be a bit disappointed. If you're ready to be entertained by one of the greatest American humorists alive, please hit 'play' and enjoy.
