At Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, Brian began his dream of becoming a comedian. As a freshman, having fallen so far behind in his major � economics � that he knew he could never catch up, Brian went to his football coach for advice. Knowing Brian was kind of funny, the coach recommended the Communication and Theater Arts Department. It was within this world that Brian began his quest for a career in comedy. From speech class to plays, Brian developed his love for performing and getting laughs.

In the early 80�s, when the Heidelberg years were done, Brian started performing at a small comedy club in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, an hour�s drive from his hometown of Miami. Since he was just starting, Brian was more than just a comic � he was a busboy, a dishwasher, and a cook. Oftentimes, Brian had to wrap up his shows to flip burgers for people in the crowd. They might not have liked those early jokes, but boy did they love those burgers! Over a two and a half year period, Brian actually became a better comic than cook. It was time to hit the road.

In �86 Brian moved to New York City, where he based himself until �94. Still hitting the road plenty during those years, Brian used his time in New York to learn the difference between getting laughs, and getting good laughs. Brian kept his comedy broad enough to work anywhere in the country, but interesting enough to make a name for himself in the demanding New York City scene. The tightrope paid off when he won $10,000 in the K-Rock � Miller Lite Funniest Person in New York contest in 1988

From there things kicked into high gear. Brian moved to headliner status and began nailing down national T.V. appearances: MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour, Pat Sajak, Arsenio Hall, and�every comic�s dream � The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. By the early 90�s Regan had developed into one of the top stand-up comedians in the country.
