Colin Quinn, of SNL and recently Broadway, was cool enough to do a spot at this out-of-the-way venue called The Creek. He was extremely funny, and had a great stage presence. I’m sure that comes with years and years of performing, but he was so natural you felt like you were just hanging out.
I didn’t get to say anything to him after the show, because he just did his set and left (presumably to do much cooler things), but I’m sort of glad I didn’t. I always find it embarrassing to meet huge comics and be like “Yeah, I’m a comic too… oh you’ve never heard of me? That sounds right… bye.”
And it’s cool to think about the fact that he’s one of like eight people to ever anchor Weekend Update. Kevin Nealon is my all-time favorite, but Quinn is definitely second. Hopefully, he’s doing more sets around the city and I’ll catch him again.
