Superhero For The Week Of October 25 - Randy Rainbow

MA ur

COPYRIGHT 2019, ONWORDS & UPWORDS INC. JIM MURRAY, PROP.
Randy Rainbow is a part of the network of comedians and satirists that provide little shots of sanity in the absolutely insane world of American politics these days.

Randy is a product of the theater industry, and a multi-talented actor, singer, writer, composer and visual artist who has created some of the very best scathing musical attacks on Donald Trump, which makes him a hero in the books of a hell of a lot of people.

Randy is 38 years old and has been in and around the theater, video and blogging worlds for the last 20 years. But over the past three years he has been propelled into a new level of fame for the scathing show tune parodies he does.

These are, IMHO, true works of art…amazingly well put together and very witty and funny. All things that really rile up the hard core conservatives.

4941099e.jpgI have been seeing Mr Rainbow’s videos on Facebook and YouTube ever since the Trump inauguration, and they are very much a part of the ongoing comedy therapy that keeps me sane in these crazy times, along with Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Lewis Black, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah and of course Bill Maher. I can only imagine what George Carlin would be doing if he was still with us.

It’s amazing how much these decidedly left wing comedians have done to keep the country informed of all the insanity that is being generated in Washington these days.

As I said, Randy’s anti-Trump videos have quickly propelled him into a kind of weird stardom, where he now as a traveling stage show, and has come a real legend in the LGBTQ community as well.

2cf2616d.jpgIn a recent TV article I saw on him, I was quite amazed to see that he creates, produces, shoots and edits his videos pretty much singlehandedly in his NYC apartment. Which is another thing to marvel at when you look at his videos.

This is a strange time we are living in. People are not sure of anything, barely know which way is up anymore and keep on getting lied to everywhere they turn.

As a result, the comedy they see by all of the aforementioned are actually among the most honest experiences we have.

Feel free to check out some of Randy’s videos on his youTube page
