Brian Regan Returns To NYC Stage

Stand-up veteran Brian Regan is heading back to New York City for a one-night engagement on Sunday, June 1, at the storied Gramercy Theatre. In a recent Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7rTLyh2X7/), Regan wrote, “Hey everyone! I’m excited to be coming back to New York City at the @GramercyTheatre on Sunday, June 1! Tix at BrianRegan.com!” The accompanying image shows him on stage, microphone in hand, grinning broadly as he prepares to launch into his trademark observational bits.

Known for his clean, self-deprecating style and lightning-fast wit, Regan has built a decades-long career without relying on profanity or controversy. Born in Miami in 1958, he broke into late-night TV in the early 1990s with repeated spots on David Letterman’s show. Over the years, he’s released a string of acclaimed specials—including Netflix’s “Live From Radio City Music Hall”—and toured arenas across the U.S.

In the weeks leading up to his Manhattan date, Regan has been crisscrossing the Northeast. He performs at Rochester’s Kodak Center on May 28, Providence’s Veterans Memorial Auditorium on May 6, and Waterville Opera House in Maine on May 7. Stops also include Buffalo State PAC on May 9 and two nights at Huntington’s Paramount Theatre on May 10 and 11. Each announcement has been shared via his official Instagram handle, where fans snap up tickets almost instantly.

For many attendees, Sunday’s Gramercy show marks a welcome homecoming. Regan’s last New York City appearance was at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in early 2022, where he drew a sell-out crowd. Fans praised his bit about airport security (“Why do they ask, ‘Are you traveling with more than 10 pounds of luggage?’ as if we’re all secret weightlifters?”) and a riff on the absurdity of assembly instructions for furniture.

A look at his tour page reveals the comic’s careful pacing. After the June 1 date in Manhattan, Regan heads south with shows scheduled in Washington, D.C., Richmond, and Charlotte before returning to the Midwest. The steady schedule highlights why he’s widely regarded among fellow comedians as a workhorse—bringing fresh material to life each night.

Industry insiders point to Regan’s ability to spot universal truths in the mundane. “He’s one of the few who can riff on braces or air fresheners and have the whole room in stitches,” says comedy booker Jamie Rivera. That skill has led to appearances on late-night staples like “The Tonight Show” and makes his live shows feel both intimate and electric.

Tickets for the Gramercy Theatre show are available now at BrianRegan.com. With a seating capacity of just under 600, this stop is expected to sell out quickly, mirroring demand for his earlier Northeastern dates. Fans are advised to book early and to keep an eye on his social channels for any last-minute announcements.

In addition to his touring schedule, Regan recently lent a cameo voice to an animated series pilot and has been tapped to write a new hour-long special for a streaming platform later this year. But for now, his focus remains squarely on live audiences—fine-tuning timing, testing fresh jokes, and feeding off crowd reactions.

Regan’s notebooks, he’s said, are always full; he treats every city as a laboratory. And after decades in the business—36 years on stage as of 2023—his enthusiasm shows no sign of waning. If you’ve yet to experience his clean, high-energy style in person, Sunday’s show at Gramercy Theatre offers a perfect introduction, wrapped in the intimate setting of one of Manhattan’s most historic venues.

Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a newcomer, circle June 1 on your calendar. Brian Regan’s return to New York City promises an evening of quick-fire laughs, relatable anecdotes, and a reminder of why he remains one of stand-up’s most reliable hitmakers.
