Acclaimed by Vanity Fair as “the funniest standup alive,” Comedian Brian Regan will bring his act to the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9.

Tickets are available here (http://tickets.liedcenter.org/single/SYOS.aspx?p=868), by phone at 402-472-4747 or at the Lied Center box office, 301 N. 12th St. Students can purchase tickets at a 50 percent discount with a valid NCard.

In May 2015, Regan made his 28th and final stand-up performance on “Late Show With David Letterman,” the most of any comic since the show moved to CBS in 1993. In September 2015, he made history with the first-ever live Comedy Central broadcast for his special “Brian Regan: Live from Radio City Music Hall.”

Regan is a unique comedian whose material is relatable to generations of fans and revered by comedians as the best in the business. Jerry Seinfeld said, “He is one of my favorite, favorite stand-up comedians.”

In 2014, Regan made a cameo in Chris Rock’s film “Top Five” and he appeared in Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” but it is stand-up comedy that is Regan’s main focus. He visits close to 100 cities each year, selling out some of the most beautiful venues on the continent.

Regan has released three hour-long TV specials, three CDs and four DVDs.

The performance is supported by Patron Friend Sponsor Kenton Sullivan and the Nebraska Lottery.
