Brian Regan first appearance on Letterman show - Oct. 1995

Here's Brian Regan on the Late Show with David Letterman from October 1995. This is his first ever appearance on the show (Dave even says "Nice to meet you" at the end). This is the full performance, although the quality is not so great -- I cobbled it together from an old video tape and an old video file I had.

Probably my favorite comedian ever

Him and Norm

[@rockroll9473]

Now....that would be a....bold statement.

[@curiosityl.6261]

@@hasanainbasim2647 Haha that's what I was coming to say. Yep him and Norm are my kind of comedy. Really weird cause they're so different but just can't help it cause they're so entertaining Rickles and Burr are right up in my favorites too

[@lifetools-help8017]

Thank you for sharing this! Watching Brian is a wonderful way to end my day!

[@jasondownsnet]

Bill Burr told Seinfeld,”people think because you don’t swear that you do clean family friendly comedy. So I tell them that they are not listening to what this man is saying. There is some deep seeded anger underneath that clean comedy. There is contempt for the world”. And it made Seinfeld bend over and howl with laughter because it’s so true. Now rewatching Brian Regan I see it as well. So funny.

[@kristin1533]

He was so good, even 26 years ago. And he's in Reno a lot, which is great! Might see him again next month.

[@matthewrammig]

90s applause breaks were so funny.

[@johnsalmon7071]

Brian Regan is hilarious! One of the best comedians out there

[@sunnywayPS34]

I love this guy. hes clean and funny.

[@hamhead2765]

I love how a few years later he let this hilarious joke breath.

[@redwood1133]

Sooooo fucking good. I wish he stuck w it.

[@exodiawolfe6008]

He truly perfected the ups joke in his stand special. Better pace and more confidence.

[@adameves5970]

His jokes are modified to fit the time slot he's been allotted. Of course a joke will be different in a tight five compared to an hour. You can see he even altered some other jokes on the spot based on crowd reaction. "No, we're gonna flip it next Thursday." got such a huge response that he just allowed that to be the punch line rather than finish the bit. Comedians do things like this. Especially have a joke altered for a 5 minute stand up, compared to a 1 hour special. It's common sense.

[@cbaluta]

'boxes' Brian, boxes? Boxen!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yeah, that was one of his gut busting routines ... the inconsistent pluralization of English nouns.

[@bossfan49]

IMBECILLEN!!

[@factsoverfiction7826]

There were 10 boxen, so he had *many, much boxen!!*

[@diaz5292]

@@bossfan49 what're you speaking German now Brian? Jermaine! Jermaine Jackson! Jackson Five! 😂😅😅🤣😂😅😂😀👍

[@awesomeness1367]

Probably one of the best comedians.

Hes so funny. Hes a very intuit

One of the best comedians of all time.

Have tickets to his concert in June 🤗🤗🤗can’t wait !

Awesome Brian!!! Thanks for quitting college!!! You are the BEST !!!

Luv the observation comedy by Brian......"Look it has Butter..... in cursive.

[@mase60391]

He was killing it since Day 1

[@Oldbutschooled]

Brian's the man!

[@Mayo_Mane]

Sounds great! Good job and thanks for uploading this.

[@jimtherat8]

So damn funny. Thanks for posting.

[@marcjtdc]

He was on Letterman 28 times.

[@mpetrie]

More than any other comedian. Letterman loves Brian.

[@RogerRoddComedian]

GOAT clean comic

[@rayreese5807]

1 person is the eppy-tome of hyper-bowl

[@martinpier5034]

I've seen this many times, I laughed just as much as seeing it for the first time,and no swearing. Priceless 🤣

[@junomesh]

The flipping the switch got me 🤣

[@TheEleatic]

The crowd LOVED him. We like people who make us forget the general boredom of modern existence interrupted by numbing tragedy. Regan rocks.

[@DrGeorgeAntonios]

The last half of your second sentence should become a quote. Well said. Thankfully, I have the promises of God in Jesus Christ.

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

It's amazing what one can infer from watching only a few pixels.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

It builds character!

[@delphilungwyn5308]

This is the same performance when he does Letterman the last time in 2009...I think was the year.

[@1Rose007]

wow now that's good comedy when it's still funny in 2020 the guy is pure talent and he doesn't have to curse to be funny that's how I know I am watching real talent to laugh about every day stuff.

[@bossfan49]

Brought back the girth at the end. Good move. Good payoff.

[@JonahWatkinsOfficial]

Brian is amazing and clean.

[@redwingsfan3621]

He changed physically, voice, body everything so much between ‘95-‘97. Hardly seems like the same guy to me.

[@lauramalek3128]

....and look it says Butter....in CURSIVE! 😅

Well, I was going to ask about your troubles, but I'm outta time...thanks

[@jazz2B]

Heard him say he turned down a starring in a sitcom because he couldn't get complete creative control. That's noble but I think sometimes you just have to get in the door...what could've been?

[@Phoenix85006]

Patrick Murray I always thought he would have been great in his own TV show but imagine if he didn't have any control and it was a flop. I'm kind of glad he didn't do it.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Brian Reagan trying to do material written by a bunch of Harvard English majors ... that's what the corporate comedy writers are ... sounds like he'd become an object of pity to his fans. Instead, he stayed true to his gift and his fans ... he's loved, respected and has a platinum fridge that keeps all his food cold.

[@heatbucspies55]

@HiddenDataFilms Yeah, but he kinda perfected them since then.

[@michaelizatt5280]

What about meats? Whose meats are they? Is there a requirement?

[@embracetruthecho]

I am not the obsessive type, but - I think I'm obsessed with Brian Regan. If I were to see him, I'd have to ask him to marry me. He'd be like:......."Where's Security?" LOLOL

[@janoahtindell8999]

❤😍😂

[@DMU555]

@owlcu Except way the fuck better.

[@SmithsnMoz]

Wow! I didnt know he kept and said the same jokes over n over. Still a funny guy.

[@DrGeorgeAntonios]

They all do almost. They perfect their arrows.

[@epyscrivano3145]

Brian Regan is hilarious, but I never could stand David Letterman.

[@WinslowLeach1974]

Same here

Eggs don’t need to be refrigerated. True story.

[@Ltifone2014]

thejasonbischoff the eggs you get at us grocery stores do. Produces wash the eggs in a mild bleach solution to get rid of chicken pop and the like

[@turkeybowlwinkle4440]

You're right, I've never seen a chicken with a refrigerator.

[@rhythmfield]

@@turkeybowlwinkle4440 now THAT’s actually a funny line-much funnier than anything bleated by Regan
