Colin Quinn

Comedian, actor, and author Colin Quinn has become one of the most distinctive and beloved voices in American comedy, known for his sharp, wry takes on the roller-coaster ride of U.S. politics and culture. From anchoring “Weekend Update” on SNL to hosting Comedy Central’s cult-favorite Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, he has spent decades turning headlines and history into brutally funny, thought-provoking stand-up.

A Comic Chronicler of America – Quinn’s book Overstated: A Coast-to-Coast Roast of the Fifty States (named one of NPR’s Favorite Books of 2020) showcases his talent for skewering the entire country with jokes that are as insightful as they are hilarious.
Acclaimed One-Man Shows – His one-man shows have drawn praise from The New Yorker and The New York Times, which dubbed him a “barstool philosopher” for his blend of big ideas and barroom candor.

On Stage, On Screen, In the Zeitgeist – Quinn’s HBO Max special Colin Quinn & Friends: A Parking Lot Comedy Show captures live comedy in the early days of the pandemic, cementing his reputation as a comic who reflects the moment while seeing the bigger picture.

An evening with Colin Quinn is like grabbing a drink with the smartest, funniest guy at the bar—fast, fearless, and packed with the kind of truths you can’t stop laughing about.
