COMEDY: Brian Regan 

Comedian Brian Regan's career has spanned more than 30 years, and includes two Netflix comedy specials, "Stand Up and Away!" and "Nunchucks and Flamethrowers," and appearances on Jerry Seinfeld's series "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee" and "Late Night with David Letterman." Regan's standup comedy, which often riffs on relatable, mundane situations, incorporates sketches and audience interaction. He's stopping in Rochester this week as part of a tour that will take him to close to 100 cities in North America this year. If Vanity Fair has called him, "The funniest stand-up alive," he might even be able to make the wry and dry citizens of Rochester laugh out loud.

Thursday, May 9, 7:30 p.m. Kodak Theatre, 200 West Ridge Road. Tickets start at $34.50 800-745-3000; ticketmaster.com.
