You may know Colin Quinn from his recent one man show Unconstitutional. Or one of his other one man shows Long Story Short and Colin Quinn: An Irish Wake.

Or even from MTV's Remote Control. My point is, you know Colin Quinn. Or maybe you just think you do. So of course we jumped at the chance to talk with him while he was promoting shows at Helium Comedy Clubs in Buffalo and in Philadelphia this month,.
