Related: bergenPAC, Alfie Boe, Brian Regan, Comedy Central

With the release of his two critically acclaimed one-hour Comedy Central specials and DVDs -- 2008's "The Epitome of Hyperbole" and 2007's "Brian Regan Standing Up" -- Brian set a standard of excellence that others continually try to follow.

With his first appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" in 1995, Brian solidified his place on the show and has since made more than 20 appearances. He also includes regular visits with Conan O'Brien on his schedule.

His performances are relatively "clean" as he refrains from profanity and off-color humor. Regan's material typically covers everyday events, such as shipping a package with UPS and a visit to an optometrist. Regan makes frequent references to childhood, including little league baseball, grade school spelling bees, and science projects. His clean, off-center humor has been praised by critics and contemporaries alike and Regan enjoys a fan base that crosses young taste makers to middle-aged adults; he is respected in the comedy community for being a "universal comic," his work has been applauded by such diverse sources as Comedy Central, Slate, The Onion and The Wall Street

A dorm room favorite, Brian's 1997 CD, "Brian Regan Live," has sold over 150,000 copies and consistently charts in iTunes Top Comedy Albums. His 2000 "Comedy Central Presents" special continues to be a top viewer choice. Brian's independently released 2004 DVD, "I Walked on the Moon," is available at Brian's website.

Brian Regan: The Epitome of Hyperbole is available for digital download on Xbox, Zune, iTunes and Amazon.
