LOS ANGELES - August 20, 2020 - HBO Max announced today the greenlight of Colin Quinn's multi-act, socially distant, stand-up special, Summer of 2020: A Drive-In Comedy Special (working title). Directed by Quinn, who will also perform, the special is part documentary and part standup showcase. The comedians will tape at a repurposed drive-in movie theatre in Brooklyn to allow audience members to enjoy the show while social distancing.

"Colin is a pillar of the stand-up community" said Suzanna Makkos, executive vice president of original comedy and animation for HBO Max. "The fantastic group of comedians he's selected, most of whom have not performed in front of a live audience for months, will allow the viewer a window into how the pandemic has impacted this art form. Utilizing a drive-in movie theater allows comics a unique way to connect with the audience while also prioritizing safety"

"Anybody can please an audience" said Quinn. "It takes a real comedian to make a bunch of cars laugh."
