Brian's "I Walked on the Moon" is hilarious. His "Standing Up" is too. Frankly, when I ordered this, I wasn't sure he had enough good, new material for another. But he did not disappoint! There are those who have a few good gags and then... nothin'. Brian has a whole way of looking at the world that amuses and delights. He consistently does what all great stand-up comedians do: reminds us of things that we've all thought at one time or another and takes them to humorous and even insightful extremes. At the heart of his performance, however, is heart. You get the impression that what Brian is doing is really a labor of love. Some comedians are fueled by rage turned into absurdity. Brian, on the other hand, seems more like wonder and, yes, even wisdom turned into joy. His is comedy in the classic sense: it leaves you with the feeling that, in spite of the messiness, troubles, and absurdities of life, it's all going to be alright. Call him the cross-eyed sage or the bellowing Buddha. Brian's smile says, "Yeah, we're all pretty confused about that, but it's okay 'cuz we're all in this together!"
September 20, 2008I have always loved the comedy of Brian Regan ever since I first heard him! Brian Regan is a guy who can put tears in my eyes from laughing so hard! I loved the "STANDING UP" DVD because you actually get two shows on one DVD!!! Brian does "STANDING UP", then you go to special features and there is an encore, where he comes out and lets the audience request some of his older jokes. After the encore, there is another half hour comedy show! Just when you are feeling sad that it is over, you get another 30 minutes of Brian Reagan comedy!!! If I could only buy one DVD, this would be my first one! I have owned it for about a week and I have watched the entire DVD five times and the "STANDING UP" section six times because as soon as I start telling someone about it, they want to see it with me! I highly recommend this DVD along with the Brian Regan Live CD. If you enjoy sarcastic humor at all, you will love Brian Regan!
August 24, 2008Brian Regan is my favorite comedian by far. I love his clean, intelligent humor that you could watch with your mother or grandmother....
For me, this DVD is slightly 2nd to his other "I walked on the Moon" dvd, but not by much! Both are genius. I've seen him live and have tickets to see him 2 more times this year! Yes, he's that good.
Buy it!
August 18, 2008I love that Brian Regan can take every day situations and make them so funny. I laughed out loud the whole time I was watching this DVD. I also love that his routines are clean enough for the whole family to watch. The only thing I noticed in the whole DVD were a couple of uses of the H word.
This is a must-buy, in my opinion!
August 6, 2008Brian Regan is hilarious and this show is terrific. I thoroughly enjoyed it. He's not quite Jerry Seinfeld, but he's close. Great show. Highly recommended. Very clean too.
The Comedy Central special is an extra feature on this DVD. It is so-so (I had already heard most of that material).
