Colin Quinn's hit one-man show Unconstitutional tackles 226 years of American Constitutional calamities in 70 minutes. On May 25th, 1787, fifty-five delegates in wigs and tights sat down to create a country from scratch. Fast forward to 2013, where Colin Quinn offers his unique comedic perspective on our national character.

Quinn began his career in Comedy Clubs and has been seen on television in Remote Control, Saturday Night Live and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. His film work includes A Night at the Roxbury, Comedian and Grown Ups. Quinn's one-man show Sanctifying Grace began Off-Broadway and transferred to Broadway as Colin Quinn - An Irish Wake in 1998. Colin Quinn Unconstitutional marks Colin's return to the stage after his acclaimed Broadway engagement of Long Story Short, directed by Jerry Seinfeld. Long Story Short earned him nominations for both a Drama Desk Award and an Emmy Award for the HBO broadcast of the play
