Colin Quinn to perform at Funny Farm

You have to admire comedian Colin Quinn for sticking to his principles, even if in the long run his career may have suffered.

“Unless I wrote it, I don’t want to do it,” said Quinn, calling from his Brooklyn, N.Y., home. “That makes it more difficult, I guess. I’m always trying to work on other things I wrote, but I don’t ever like to do anybody else’s things, so I never audition or try to take jobs if somebody offers me another gig.”

The problem for Quinn is he’s had too much individual success over the past 20 years. Perhaps if he was still a starving comic, it may be time to re-evaluate the career, but when you look at his résumé — from MTV’s late-’80s popular game show “Remote Control” and host of A&E’s “Caroline’s Comedy Hour” to his five-year stint as writer and feature player (“Weekend Update” host) on “Saturday Night Live” — it’s obvious he’s got the talent.

Quinn will perform Saturday at the Funny Farm in Liberty.
