32 yr old Brian Regan in 1990.

[@curtarmmar]

There isn’t a comic alive today who doesn’t hold Brian Regan in the highest regard. He is in a league of his own.

[@amysson5151]

Brian Regan rockin’ a sweet, sweet mullet. Ahh, the 80s.

[@codysmith5260]

Says 1990

[@jpetes9046]

Don’t think that’s a mullet either.Thats just “long in back”. A mullet is what most of the guys have who get arrested on “COPS”. Weird bangs in front, cut straight across, all hair combed against scalp, and... long in back.

[@grantrodgers2470]

never underestimate the hidden powers of an American mullet....never...take heed

[@chuckdraper7776]

He looks like a young Bud Bundy.

[@agitatedmongoose]

@@jpetes9046 no, what he has here is what a mullet was. Not much more to it than that. Slightly shorter in front, usually. But that's about it.

[@bigpun4780]

Love that he doesn't have to be raunchy to be funny - true talent shines thru

[@andyinoregon]

I've been watching stand-up comedy since the late '50s, and no one else has made me laugh as hard as Brian Regan. His rubber-faced delivery of the material is unmatched, as are his incredible vocal skills. I remember his 1992 appearance on Dennis Miller's late-night talk show. As he sat down to huge applause, Miller leaned over and said, "Brian, that's the funniest 5 minutes I've ever seen on television."

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Is it this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIuUqK2Ph7ysjtU

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Funnily enough, I happened to see your comment on that page from 9 years ago! You said "I remember watching this the night it aired back in '92. As Brian sat down Dennis Miller told him it was the funniest 5 minutes he had ever heard. High praise indeed and 100% right!" Dennis' show is no more, but Brian continues to tour and make us laugh.

[@andyinoregon]

@@JustWasted3HoursHere The thing I wonder about Brian Regan is how a Florida high school football player ended up playing college ball at Heidelberg In Tiffin, Ohio.

Regan is one of the very few comics who can make you cry from laughter.

[@TRJ2241987]

It is much harder to do clean comedy than dirty comedy. Most comics in the business have a huge amount of respect for this guy and admit they couldn't make his material work

[@patrckhh20]

Dirty comedy isn't even funny. Hacks fall back on it and just hope it has shock value.

[@habbidasher6937]

Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Louie CK, Eddie Murphy are 5 of the undisputed greatest to ever do it and they're all dirty. What makes you think it's a lesser form of the art? Matter of fact, what on earth makes you think it would be easier to get laughs being dirty? You think it really would be? Go out on stage and see how easy it is to get laughs when all you bring for the crowd is the word "fuck". You'll get crickets. There has to be jokes. You don't have a damn clue what you're talking about.

[@TRJ2241987]

@@habbidasher6937 in what way does saying 'clean' comedy is harder imply that 'dirty' comedy is easy? Or that after 25 years of watching stand up comedy I don't know what I'm talking about? Or that I've said anything to discredit the comics you have listed? I have literally heard over a dozen "dirty" comics praise Brian Regan and say that he kills with an act that they would get zero laughs with. Most people aren't even capable of forming sentences in a casual conversation without sprinkling fuck or shit somewhere in there. I would have a very hard time standing on stage and not casually swearing.

I saw this when it aired on Evening at the Improv. The "You too" joke has been with me ever since. It made me avoid saying it at the wrong time, but I notice it when others do it for the last 31 years. Thanks, Brian

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

I’ve seen Brian Regan three times in concert, every time different jokes, and every time my face hurts when I leave because I’ve been laughing and smiling the entire night. He is so gracious to his crowds as he just doesn’t get up and spit out joke after joke. He interacts, and it’s so hilarious when he screws up a joke, and how that gets even funnier.

I agree with you on Walked on the Moon being great, but I don't see why you would call him a hack early on. I think of his first album as one of the best comedy albums ever (and I listen to A LOT of comedy), and aside from the 3 way bulb bit here, most of this evolved a bit and is on that album. The bulb bit is pretty hacky, but I think he realized that, took the same premise and that's where his trifocals bit came from.
