We’ve been following the career of Brooklyn-born Irish comedian Colin Quinn since his days at MTV as the sidekick for the game show REMOTE CONTROL and then on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, where he anchored “Weekend Update” for several seasons. Of course, he’ll always have a place in our heart because of his great music video “Going Back to Brooklyn.” More recently, he hosted TOUGH CROWD on Comedy Central and is a regular guest on THE OPIE & ANTHONY SHOW. The gruff-voiced Quinn, who has always been on the cusp of breaking through, is now on the road with his one-man show LONG STORY SHORT, in which he promises to give the “History of the World in 75 Minutes.” The show, which Quinn wrote and performs, is directed by another Brooklyn-born comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, and is running at the Bleecker Street Theatre through August 14. Be prepared for a very different perspective on our illustrious past.
