PORTLAND, Maine — Colin Quinn, who will be bringing his comedy tour “One in Every Crowd” to the Port City Music Hall in Portland, Maine, on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m., is a stand-up comedian best known as a “Saturday Night Live” cast member from 1995-2000, where for two years he was the host of the “Weekend Update” segment. He also hosted the comedy debate program “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” on Comedy Central from 2002-’04 and has appeared in such films as the “Grown Up” movies and “Trainwreck.”
Quinn is returning to the road after a seven-year break in which he focused on writing and performing one-man shows on Broadway, the last two of which — “Long Story Short” and “The New York Story” were directed by Jerry Seinfeld.
