“Barry is hilariously funny, but more important, his humor comes
out of a deep intelligence, an extraordinary understanding of the
world around him and an intense commitment to social change.”
–Howard Zinn
“Barry Crimmins uses his sharp sense of irony as a political
weapon. In his hands, the subversive joke is the first small act of
resistance.” –Billy Bragg
“He breaks down reality in a hilarious way. He seems ticked off at
everything, and when you hear him, you agree. One of the few
political comedians who are really good.” –Steven Wright
“Like a mixture of Tom Paine and Mark Twain, Crimmins mixes
politics and humor with savage results.” –Michael Blowen, The
Boston Globe
