Brian Regan Essentials

Like Jerry Seinfeld's musings about the mundane, the humour of Florida funnyman Brian Regan dwells on the minutiae of modern life—albeit with the New York neuroses swapped out for gonzo theatrics. On “TV”, he uses his repertoire of voices to bring a colourful cast of idiot-box characters to life (hyperactive game-show hosts and pet psychics included); “Stupid in School (Live)” sees him relive the childhood humiliation of failing at spelling bees. And while he teeters on political, post-9/11 commentary on “News”, he's sure to throw a few barbs in the direction of his lowly local anchorman.
