Brian Regan: On the Rocks

Watched last night and was disappointed. The jokes were too long and sounded more like a quirky guy making observations and rambling about them. If this was a comedian I didn't know I would have turned it off 10 minutes in.

This reminded me of Brian Regan from 15-20 years ago! Amazing...and still family friendly!

Regan's always been among my top 3 comics in the world, and gets huge props for always being clean. However, for the last 15 years, it felt like he did the same 20-year-old material over and over.

So it's refreshing that this is actually all-new material (to me, at least), and pretty great one at that. You likely won't be fainting of laughter if you're used to dirty comics like Bill Burr, but Brian's material is hilarious nonetheless, or more so - his self-deprecating delivery. His talent of telling any story in a fun way hasn't faded a bit.

Speaking of fading, I first thought that his hair was purposefully bleached or something, I'm glad he addressed it immediately, like the smart man he is, lol. It looks great on you, Brian! Looks cool and youthful, actually.

Anyways, this special is a new thing by one of the greatest comics out there, and especially for Netflix, it's beyond must-watch. Because let's face it, most specials Netflix tries to push on you are mind-numbingly bad.

So, good for Netflix for getting this special produced for themselves.

Brian Regan and Nate Bargatze are my two favorite clean comedians. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Dave Chapelle too. But I appreciate stand up shows you can watch with your family and kids, and they all get it and have a good time.

This is a solid set from one of the best observational comics of the past few decades. I'm not easily shocked or usually bothered by cussing, I like Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle, but it's cool that Regan is hilarious without using foul language or vulgarity. It's one of my favorite things about him.

A measuring stick for me regarding stand-up is how fast or slow the time is going. This show felt to me to go by really fast. I never once looked at the clock. I definitely re-watch this one.
