Brian Regan in concert, a review

Sunday night, January 17, my wife and I “cashed in” on a Christmas gift when we saw Brian Regan’s comedy concert at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, TN. Regan, whose self-deprecating humor is a hit with fans of all ages, did not disappoint. From his opening riff about the Chattanooga “International” Airport to the encore, including his repeated lampooning of his own joke that fell flat, listeners were in a state of near ab-spasm inducing laughter. Regan’s act included bits made wildly popular on YouTube like Flipper and Fig Newtons with some newer riffs about his kids (my favorite: “We have two wonderful kids…and another kid”).

The night opened with a 25 minute routine by Tom Ryan who did exactly what the opening act is supposed to do: he primed the audience. Ryan’s humor is much like Regan’s without the facial expressions and physicality. In fact, Ryan is dangerously deadpan in delivery. His closing tale, about a car accident which ensued after a lit cigarette blew down his shirt collar, was priceless.

From February until June, Regan is performing from the eastern seaboard to Utah and back. He has five consecutive nights at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City alone. His complete tour schedule and link to purchase tickets is here.

Below is a Regan account of going to the doctor (one swear word):
