STAGE TUBE: Seinfeld, Quinn Pepare for LONG STORY SHORT
by Nicole Rosky - Oct 22, 2010


Jerry Seinfeld directs Colin Quinn in Colin Quinn Long Story Short - the one-man theatrical show moving to Broadway after a successful run off-Broadway. Comically channeling the demise of great world empires, Colin Quinn uses his 'articulate brand of comedy' in taking audiences through an uproarious history of the world in 75 minutes. From his personification of Caesar as the original Italian mobster to his complaints about Ancient Greece and Antigone giving way to Costco and Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that toppled the world's most powerful nations. Colin Quinn Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us.
