Colin Quinn was great

Colin was awesome last Friday. If you love to laugh, you have to see this comedy legend at least once. Col is the man!

multiple avenues of funny

after a slow start, ,which lasted only about 5 minutes, Colin Quin was very funny - turned a fly that was buzzing the stage in to a great rif on animals - I'd go back to see him again

Some of his best work
Port City Music Hall - Portland
I knew CQ when he was a kid in Brooklyn and have followed his career over the years in books, TV shows, films and SNL. I never thought these suited him well. Stand-up is clearly where he is at his best and this show was excellent. Quinn's comedy may not be for everyone. It's edgy, at time profane, New York-centric and probably will appeal more to people of my generation than the younger crowd. The show featured two other warm up acts which were also pretty good. But, Quinn demonstrated that he is a master in this environment and for 90+ minutes had me hanging on every word. I first knew Quinn as a goofy, long-haired kid from Park Slope with a devilish sparkle in his eye and wise-ass disposition. Glad to see he hasn't lost that (except maybe the hair). BTW, the venue was also quite excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful; service was great and affordable.

Wow! Colin truly is a genius, & this parody demonstrates his artistic/creative range. The dialogue & Jim Norton in the Rat episode are hilarious ,- but I think Pat Cooper will be the hardest act to follow. He is so funny & so authentic - acts & sounds just like my father, who is also from Brooklyn. Jake Hammond is well cast and does a terrific job right from episode 1 to the finale. I think the show needs only 3 things - 1) Colin needs a name, 2) Colin needs a sidekick e.g. - Sherlock/Watson, McGarrett/Danno, Kojak/Crocker, 3) it needs a female DA to repeatedly demand "admissible evidence" and to argue with the cops that they can't use the frozen heads they brought in from the suspect's freezer because they didn't have a search warrant, and that his confession is no good either because when he asked for an attorney instead of ending the interrogation, they persisted, got physical and beat him - all because they were so emotionally involved in their case. L Studios is very pragmatic in its funding here - it's a solid bet on Colin's unrivaled talent. I hope they get the full benefit they deserve for sponsoring Cop Show and recognizing the genius in the observant and incredibly witty sociologist that is Colin Quinn.

Tom Papa was great!
Belterra Casino Resort and Spa - Florence
TOM PAPA WAS GREAT!! A lot of the people around us didn't know who he was. They were there to see Colin Quinn because he was once a Sat. Night Live member. I 1st saw Tom Papa's 1 hr routine " Freeking Out " a couple of years ago on TV. Then followed him on You Tube. He needs more exposure because he is very talented and relates to the 99% of the population's every day situations. COLIN QUINN seemed like it was a chore just being there and we left after 10-15 min. of his set. He's ok but Colin couldn't follow the great performance of PAPA. Tom Papa. Papa should have been the headliner.

A little too liberal
Belleayre Music Festival - Highmount
Overall the comedy was good. However, it is political and I was disappointed that he went after George W. Bush heavily, and a bit hateful, while going easy on Obama. I would have preferred that he was more fair and balanced.

Colin Quinn was awesome
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - Bethel

Love him, not sure what happened
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - Bethel
Maybe it was a risk, Good Friday, the beginning of Passover and not a lot of summer folks in he area. I am sure comedians have to depend on audience responses as well. I have always loved his delivery, somehow it fell flat in places. Keep bringing comedians in please, plan it a bit better! Timing is everything in comedy!!

Colin Quinn @ Bethel Woods

His show at Bethel Woods was fantastic!!!! He was gracious enough to allow a meet & greet after the show. I would definitely see this show again. I highly recommend seeing this show if he is in your area!
