sometimes it's just good to laugh
and laugh
and laugh,
which is just what we did the other night -as we cashed in on that christmas gift i had given big daddy!we had four tickets so we grabbed our longtime friends, randy & amy, to join us on our date to see brian regan live and in concert!
after selling out, almost immediately, here in utah, to his originally scheduled shows,
more were added, with a total of 10 night performances and 2 matinees.
not one swear word, nothing inappropriate, and tons of positive energy filled abravanel hall with laugh after laugh! regan was welcomed with a rousing applause, cheers, hoops, hollers, and shout-outs all throughout the show! the guy has got to love coming here! he sells out his shows, adds more...then sells out again-- every time, to this kind of enthusiastic response!
my kids dig him too. they know most of his material and we quote his stuff all the time!
i guess the reason why any funny guy is so funny would be due to his ability to connect and have his audience able to relate to his jokes and brian regan does just that.
this one, in the clip below--stupid in school, is baylee's favorite.
....i guess she feels like she can relate ;)
probably due to her memory of an early year in elementary school when she had studied hard for the spelling bee, really hoping to go far. she made it a few rounds with the words getting harder each round, only to be crushed of her dream of being crowned the spelling bee queen.
since then she has been known, on occasion, to take this approach-
'....cat---k.a.t.- alright, i'm out of here...can i sit down now?'
he didn't do that joke, but it is one of our favorites.
no, he came on stage with all fresh, hilarious material!
it was such a fun night.
definitely somebody i would go see again, because laughing is the best mood lifter in the world! and i'd like more of that, please!

We love him! This clip we especially loved while Taylor was in the spelling bee finals. We still quote it!
ReplyDeleteHey, so nice of you to visit my blog. Running isn't my best trait either. It's more of a necessity physically, and emotionally.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and boys are going to see Brian Regan this weekend. I got them tickets for Christmas as well and boy! are they ever excited about going.. I'm glad to hear that he has all new stuff in his show. The boys will be happy to know that.
Have a lovely day!
Sounds fab!! I am probably the only one, but I have never heard of him before. I like the fact that he is clean funny!! I will have to look him up.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time.
I saw him here in NH with my hubby. I laughed until I had tears in my eyes. Glad to hear he has new material...maybe we'll go see him again.... You can never get too much laughter in your life!!
ReplyDeleteSO Jelous! I really Have to get out more.
ReplyDeleteThat was great. Dan and I listened to a couple other of his routines and we could not stop laughing about the backwards facing seat in the station wagon and those back there, "had a different vacation" than the rest.
ReplyDeletethat sounds llike it would be so much fun. I LOVE LAUGHTER !!!
ReplyDeleteand how cool is that to be able to go to a comedy show and not have to endure vulgar language .
I hadn't even heard of him, until several were mentioning it on facebook. After listening to the clip - he is funny!
