Skankfest 2018 closed out the weekend with a secret show that turned out to be a very special surprise, as Jim Norton, Rich Vos, Robert Kelly and Keith Robinson joined Colin Quinn for a live rendition of Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.

Tough Crowd originally aired from 2002 to 2004 on Comedy Central, bringing the lively discussions and debates from the Comedy Cellar table (as first seen on Jerry Seinfeld’s documentary, Comedian) to a wider audience on basic cable.
Coincidentally, Comedy Central is returning to the Comedy Cellar in a more literal way this year, having greenlighted a half-hour series called This Week at the Comedy Cellar, which will include the week’s best topical jokes from the stage, plus debates from the table where they talk about their jokes.
This was such an important show tjat was honest and dwalt with issues in a way no otjer show could. Please bring it back CC.
