  • 1. The Golden Years Huh?

    This show featuring Tony Quinn is a lighthearted, hilarious look at growing up, and growing older. The humour is based on real situations...raising kids, spouses, retirement, music of the various generations, changes with our bodies, minds and attitudes that come with the game of life as someone sees it in the Zoomer years.

    There is a mixture of stories, impersonations, songs, skits and improvisational humour (clean) dealing with topics like being in the middle of the "sandwich years", sending kids off to college and moving mom in.

    Tony's 30 years of doing musical comedy will guarantee an entertaining flow to the performance, and everyone will have a laugh at it all.

    If there is a message to attach to this presentation, it is that there are no Golden Years, Just golden days, and we should make the best of every one.

  • Tony you were a major factor in the success of this venture. Your assistance as Master of Ceremonies throughout the evening made a critical contribution to ensuring that our profit margin built. Your ability to "work the crowd" and ensure that everyone has a good time is a very special gift. This was particularly true for little Aleisha MacDonald and Lek who have not stopped talking about the concert - or you. What a talent!

  • Your performance certainly contributed to the resounding success of our event and ended our conference on a high note. We appreciate the interest you showed in the conference and the efforts you invested in tailoring your performance to include some tea humour! Once again, many thanks!

  • No one understands the psyche of Atlantic Canada better than Tony Quinn. He has the ability to make grown men weep with laughter. I have seen it happen at Face to Face.

    Progress Corp.
  • I just wanted to drop a quick line and say how EXCELLENT Tony's performance was at the World Trade Center this past Saturday night at our company Christmas party. He had grown men close to tears and breathless, they laughed so hard! We have had nothing but positive comments about the entertainment, and some have said it was one of the best Christmas parties we've ever had (34 year old company), with Tony being a big part of it.
