A heart attack has derailed stand-up comedian Colin Quinn’s appearance in Northeast Florida this Sunday at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall.

Quinn issued a statement saying his heart goes out to all the people who bought tickets to his show. Literally, his heart went out, Quinn said. He’s a comedian after all.  

People who bought tickets to the February 18 show have two options:

  • Return them for a refund.
  • Or, hang onto them, since they’ll work for the new date which, Quinn also promised would be announced soon.

Quinn was a guest on First Coast Connect last week. You can hear the full interview here.
