Why see Brian Regan?

Live Comedy For All Tastes And Ages

Critics and peers agree, Brian Regan has distinguished himself as one of the premier comedians in the country. The "perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality" (Wall Street Journal), Brian fills theaters nationwide with fervent fans that span generations. His clean language and sharp, sarcastic obersations on everyday life have led him to be known as the "comedian's comedian".

The Comedian's Comedian

Brian's first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1995 solidified his place on the show and in 2012 he made his 25th appearance - the most of any comedian on the CBS show to date. A rare commodity on the comedy circuit today, his adherence to clean language and smart observations whether it be buying a refrigerator, his frequent visits to the optometrist, talking about weird crimes or visiting New York City means that audiences of most ages, including children are regular visitors to his show with their parents.

Brian has starred in two hour-long Comedy Central specials and released three DVDs and two CDs. His non-stop theater engagements have visited more than 80 cities each year since 2005; in August 2013 Brian sold out the 8600-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver.

Brian's Humor

His humor is based around sarcastic and self-deprecation that creates comedy gold from everyday situations, often channeling veterans greats like Steve Martin and Johnny Carson, making his shows something that you can repeat to your kids and your boss without fear!

We love this guy!

I brought my teenage kids (who have loved his work since they were little) to the show in the Kodak theater in Rochester. His opener (Joe Zimmer) was very funny and a different style and pace of humor than Brian. Brian's energy is so much fun to watch live and my kids and I laughed for the entire performance. I thought I had seen most or all of his material (he prefaced that he would be doing old stuff and trying some new) but I didn't recognize any of it. As always, his material related very well with us which led to further enjoyment. Maybe time flew, but it seemed to end earlier than we expected. We will see him again next time he is local. ...

Brian Regan In Seattle

I took my daughter to see Brian at the Paramount last night and he delivered. Just plain hilarious. To quote a line from his "Top Five" character, Brian put some stank on it last night. Go see this guy perform live. ... Read more

“SAY 8! SAY 8!” Brian Regan and Pete Correale rock!

HILARIOUS!! Brian Regan does EVERYTHING funny! His expressions and timing ... classic Regan! He makes just looking at someone hysterically funny. PLUS, Pete Correale was *awesome* as the opener! His razor sharp wit was on full display and he had the audience in stitches. What a show!! Brian did the ultimate classy thing by coming out for an encore and asking the audience which bit they wished to hear. What a treat! First class production. We will definitely see Brian Regan and Pete Correale again! ... Read more
