 not his best but better than the rest!!! Sep 01, 2008
By Richardson
"Clarence"
Just finished this DVD and we all enjoyed it very much. I still rank his first "I walked on the moon" as the best...and probably his second "standing up" slightly over this as it does have a 30 minute special as a bonus feature as well as encores. The Epitome Of Hyperbole is not a bad third place but at a scant 42 minutes seems to end waaaay too early. The bonus encore is also very brief (about 4 minutes) and the making of is fun but not really something you want to watch again and again. So...most of my complaining is that I want more of this guy....he's just that good, original and works clean (which I don't demand but he is different by that mere fact).
Brian's expressions and physical humor is almost as funny as his stories and bits..which I don't want to give away...but lets just say that if you own the other two DVDs ....there isn't overlap of bits...so ...bottom line..you really need ALL THREE! his first one is available on his site...is an hour of gut busting stories from the classic "Say 8" to the title track.
I've seen him in concert and we just got tickets to see him in October...he is worth it live or on DVD...and his reputation and drawing power is completely due to word of mouth and talent....NOT the hype of NON funny "celebs" like Dane Cook....
Highly Recommended....!!!

 Funny (as expected) -- but far too short! Sep 10, 2008
By G. Griffith
I agree with the earlier comment that this is the weaker of Brian's three DVD releases. But all things are relative - and this is still a very enjoyable, though brief, performance. If I had greater expectations, it was because I just saw Brian perform live a week ago -- and he has a lot of hilarious new material that did not appear in this DVD (all the more reason to catch his live show if you can!).
Brian's warm, average-joe delivery style is what makes him so likeable. His observations on everyday life are keen and hilarious. Brian's topics on this DVD include: realistic cooking shows ("Tune in tomorrow when after 45 minutes of preparation, I realized I don't have any eggs", Pluto getting kicked out of the group of planets ("You're no longer a planet. The best we can figure is, you're just a big nothing"), walking up to strangers at parties ("I don't know what you're talking about. May I still stand here?"), the crimes of manslaughter versus loitering, game show contestants, etc.
At 40 minutes in length - with just 4 minutes of encore - this DVD is much too short. I'm waiting to see the other half of his show that was edited out on this DVD. But, it's still a fun 40 minutes.

Brian Regan: Excellence In Comedy Jul 22, 2010
By Robert I. Hedges
I have seen Brian Regan live and seen his DVD's several times. Brian is always excellent at observational humor, and has the physical gestures and delivery needed to make the jokes work perfectly. Although I think this is not Brian's best DVD, it's still worth seeing (several times). I especially liked the routines about approaching strangers at parties and about Pluto's removal from the list of planets.
I was on the fence for rating this DVD. The performance warrants a five star rating, but the show is only 42 minutes long, and the encore is much shorter than his standard (it's only four minutes long, and isn't especially strong, but was essentially an "audience request" format). "The Backstage Story" is interesting, and gives a lot of information of how a show of this scale is made, and I recommend watching it. I settled on four stars because there are better and longer Regan shows on DVD (I'm especially fond of "Standing Up").
Brian Regan is one of the funniest (and cleanest) comedians working today, and I highly recommend all his material, and especially recommend catching his live act if you are able to.

Fresh look at the day to day Jun 28, 2010
By Elisabeth
There were some definite laugh-out-loud moments in this stand up routine. Like I actually threw my head back and laughed at the ceiling funny.
Brian Regan keeps his jokes pretty clean. No cussing, no hot topics, nothing that could really offend anyone...though the joke about having a roller coaster named after JFK where you're constantly watching your back might seem tasteless to some. I thought it was funny.
His routine is just about the day-to-day stuff we go through, but with a comedic twist of course.
There's lots of good stuff here like....if reading makes people so smart, then why do they need the title of the book at the top of every page? He also talks about ideas for a new ballet story...how a realistic cooking show would look like...the lunacy of pet psychics...and more.
He sometimes stays too long with jokes and some of the jokes were just okay. He also tries to act like Jim Carrey by contorting his face, but it's actually funny. Overall, this routine cracked me up and I like that he ended his show with a bang.

Brian Regan: The Epitome of Hyperbole Sep 16, 2009
By M. Payne
"Melanie Loves to Laugh"
Absolutely the funniest man alive! King of clean humor, and every time I watch it I find it funnier than the time before. His physical humor adds so much, although I have this one on CD as well and he still cracks me up!
