A 67-year-old standup comedian revered for his observational, sarcastic, and self-deprecating humor, Regan has been lauded for delivering a perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality, filling theatres nationwide with fervent fans that span generations. Making his popularity all the more impressive is that, unlike many touring comics, Regan generally refrains from profanity, as well as taboo subject matter.

He subsequently released his first standup album, Brian Regan: Live, in 1997, and has performed on various talk shows including The Dennis Miller Show, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Regan has since gained acclaim among fans and comedians, selling out nationwide tours and continuing to release comedy albums. In 2014, Regan made his film debut with an appearance in Chris Rock's 2014 comedy Top Five, and from 2017 to 2020, he starred in Peter Farrelly's Amazon Prime comedy series Loudermilk. He has appeared twice on Jerry Seinfeld's show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and has released three Netflix comedy specials:
Nunchucks and Flamethrowers, Stand Up and Away! with Brian Regan, and On the Rocks.
