Comedy Now!: Dan Quinn

Dan Quinn works the stage without a gimmick, relying on a laid-back delivery to turn everyday frustrations into a conversational television hour. Aired in August 2002 on CTV’s Comedy Now!, the set catches the Vancouver comic a few years after winning the Just For Laughs Canadian competition. Before he founded the massive Snowed In Comedy Tour, Quinn was simply a working stand-up figuring out how to stretch a solid club act into a longer broadcast format. The performance leans heavily into the personal, observational storytelling that would eventually make him a national touring staple.
