Brian Regan

Chastain Park Amphitheatre - 4469 Stella Drive N.W. Atlanta, GA 30327 8 p.m. $32-$175.

He’s more than a comic’s comic, he’s a comic’s idol. Brian Regan has achieved a rare level of success, entertaining thousands at theaters across the world solely on the back of meticulously well-crafted jokes. He’s not an actor, he doesn’t do sketch, he doesn’t have a show, he just has a pure, astute comedic viewpoint on the world. Whatever your cup of tea, Regan has a joke for you. The comedy veteran recorded his latest special for Comedy Central live to air, a feat nobody else has done on the network and a feat most couldn’t and/or wouldn’t want to try. His writing prowess will be on display this summer at Chastain Park.
