Colin Quinn Long Story Show is the one man show being featured on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Heck, the show had a one up on most off Broadway shows thanks to the direction Jerry Seinfeld. Now Colin Quinn Long Story Short tickets are among the hottest tickets on Broadway. This is quite a feat for any one man show, but a true improbability for a comedian whose stand up style inspires livid denunciations or familial-level support and loyalty.
In 75 minutes this quick-witted comic with a tough Brooklyn accent recounts the history of the world, fallen empire by fallen empire. He satirizes the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and even our own empire. Of course his comedic take on history has some direction: the modern perils that dominate our own news cycles. He finds the root causes for violence in the Middle East, our current economic crisis, and even "Jersey Shore."
