Summary

Brian Regan is the undisputed master of the "act-out", reducing audiences to tears of joy as he inhabits one potent premise after another. We squeezed in half an hour backstage to talk about how he shapes and annotates his "vignettes", and find out why everyone considers him the nicest man in comedy.Note to UK-based listeners... Even if you don't always download non-UK acts, please just give this a whirl; it's only short and he's INCREDIBLE.
