Colin Quinn - Long Story Short (2010)


"Colin Quinn performs his one-man show about world history, which he originally presented on Broadway." - IMDb

"In the end, it's discovered Quinn's been mocking Americans the entire time, and the discovery of his nuanced criticism—slowly revealed over time—is what gives Long Story Short its flair." - A.V. Club

"Raised in Brooklyn, Quinn has a poker-faced persona and on-edge delivery which works very well here. Between him and Seinfeld, the show has great flow and punch." - NY Daily News

"This viewer was never much of a fan of Colin Quinn’s work on either Saturday Night Live or his flat Politically Incorrect rip-off Tough Crowd, which is why it was such a treat to so thoroughly enjoy this 2010 special, taken from his one-man show (directed, on and off-Broadway, by Jerry Seinfeld). Quinn presents what amounts to the history of the world in 75 minutes, starting with broad concepts and then narrowing them into specific — and often contemporary — incidents and ideas." - Flavorwire
