At this point, Colin Quinn is an institution unto himself in comedy and in NYC. Even before his big shows taking on the history of NYC and the U.S. Constitution, Quinn had, for our money, his reputation crystalized from his stand-up and hosting Tough Crowd (which would be a perfect show for right about n0w).

That’s all to say that you should always go out of your way to watch his next big thing, which, for 2023 is a show all centered on the art of “small talk”. For your money, Quinn is going to relate his mastery of casual conversation and, very likely, make your life all the better for it both at the show and later on in life.

Colin Quinn: Small Talk is set for a run on the Lucille Lortel Theatre in NYC from Jan. 6th-Feb. 11th. Tickets start at $41 and you can (and should) go get them here.
