Comedy

Known for his flair for facial expressions and body language, the impishly animated Brian Regan enjoys tackling human behavior in his act. Pity the poor film editor for TV fishing shows, Regan says. “This guy has to watch the footage that just wasn’t exciting enough to make it to the final product.”
