#colinquinn #comedy #newyork #standup #comedy #funny
Taped before a live audience in New York City, Long Story Short showcases CQ's keen observations in the uproarious history of the world, juxtaposing modern-day human behavior with the rise and fall of empires. From his personification of Caesar as the original mobster to his complaints about Ancient Greece giving way to Costco and Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best. Colin Quinn performs his one-man show about world history, which he originally presented on Broadway.
Directed By Jerry Seinfeld

@NeverAStraightAnswer Месяц назад

@@paspa07he kinda peaked in popularity in the early 2000s He’s part of a ny comedy crew that’s just unmatched and includes Patrice. All of them also overlapped with the radio morning show open and Antony, which replaced Howard Stern on terrestrial radio when he went to satellite. I mean he was doing weekend updates before that; but I’d say he was at his biggest around 2003ish when he had his own show on Comedy Central “tough crowd with Colin Quinn” where he brought that same crew on as regulars to talk about the daily absurdity of the news.
