Colin Quinn: Comedy, Addiction, and the Creative Mind on Rehab Confidential
If I could think like him, I would be an up and coming comedian for Years, like Greg Right. He didn't like people that were just preaching the bromides or like the general platitudes of Today.
What happens when a stand-up comedy legend sits down to talk about addiction and recovery? In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner welcome the hilarious and insightful Colin Quinn. Colin opens up about his latest book, 'Overstated', and reflects on the ten years since the tragic overdose of fellow comedian Greg Giraldo. With his trademark wit, Colin tackles serious topics like drug legalization, the cultural impact of cannabis, and how social media is shaping politics.
Joe and Amy also share a laugh over Joe's eye-opening experience at the White House. This episode offers a unique blend of humor and heartfelt discussion, shedding light on the complex relationship between comedy, addiction, and mental health. Whether you're a fan of stand-up or interested in the deeper issues of recovery, this conversation is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
