Brooklyn native Colin Quinn bemoans death of New York personality in show
Comedian Colin Quinn has some sad news about his hometown: New York is dead.
The Brooklyn-born Irish-American comedian returns to the stage this month eulogizing the loss of loudmouth, opinionated New Yorkers in his one-man show “The New York Story” at The Cherry Lane Theatre.
Quinn’s show, directed by Jerry Seinfeld, mourns what he considers a homogenized, cautious city. He’s a guy who likes the needy bluntness of former Mayor Ed Koch, pizza slices and listening to cab drivers swear.
