Comedian Brian Regan will perform at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins Friday. The show is at 7 p.m. Regan grew up a fan of Johnny Carson and the Smothers Brothers. Steve Martin really got Regan interested in stand-up.
He started out in the early 1980s doing stand-up in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., just a short drive from his hometown of Miami.
From ’86 to ’94, Regan took residence in New York City and won $10,000 from the K-Rock Miller Lite Funniest Person in New York contest in 1988.
In the early ’90s, Regan began making a name for himself on national TV. He made appearances on “The Arsenio Hall Show” and the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.”
He released the CD “Brian Regan Live” in 1997 and a DVD called “I Walked on the Moon” in 2004.
Regan has regular appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
