Colin Quinn: The New York Story

I don't know how he can do it, but i was mesmerised on the show. History knowledge, performing, telling a story, made me laugh alot. One of the best comedians I've seen on Netflix, and I've seen ALOT!

This Netflix Special, however missed the mark completely. His delivery for a lot of the anecdotes felt too anger- fuelled and it felt he was trying too hard. One of the funniest traits he had in his earlier shows was his carefree attitude and laidbackness. In this Netflix show it seemed like this was lacking. I hope his next standup show is better! this is boring

Apparently the previous comments are from those who either 1) never lived in NYC or 2) lived there too long and think NYC is flawless.

Having lived in NYC for over a decade and married to a born and bred NYer...now after serving time and living free somewhere in the US, we both found Quinn's observation side splitting funny and spot on. Its a town that is full so many characters and oddities, they don't realize they are doing those very things that set them apart and makes special from the rest of the country.

I hope Netflix/Quinn does a part 2. My team will support it!

Colin Quinn goes through some history and what makes a New Yorker played off of stereotypes of immigrants who moved there. Being from New York himself, it's interesting to see his comedy perspective on what made a character from the city.

I love Colin Quinn's take on NYC and his crazy frenetic delivery! An hour of brilliance. My only regret is that I didn't see this sooner! Thank you Netflix.
