Colin wants to know: What are we all therefore scared of? Every ethnic group has differences, everyone brings different things to approximately The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Competition Relations in America the table, and this diversity ought to be celebrated, not really denied. So why offers acknowledging these cultural differences become therefore taboo?

In THE COLORING BOOK, Colin, a native New Yorker, tackles this issue head-on while taking us on a journey through the insane melting pot of 1970s Brooklyn, the countless, many dive bars of 1980s Manhattan, the comedy scene of the 1990s, and post-9/11 America. He mixes his incredibly candid and amusing personal encounters with no-holds-barred observations to definitively determine, at least in his own brain, which stereotypes are funny, which stereotypes are based on truths, that have become totally distorted over time, and which are actually unpleasant to each group, and just why.

As it pokes openings in the tapestry of fear that has overtaken discussions about competition, THE COLORING BOOK acts as an antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at ourselves . while others.
