NEW YORK, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- All of the energy of a live Brian Regan performance is captured on the new DVD, "Brian Regan: Standing Up." The perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality, Regan takes a hilarious look at everything from greeting cards to transporting show horses to the "Antiques Roadshow." Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, "Brian Regan: Standing Up" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, August 14 and will also be available at http://shop.comedycentral.com/ and www.BrianRegan.com.

The "Brian Regan: Standing Up" DVD is a new original stand-up special that was taped by COMEDY CENTRAL at the Barclay Theatre in April in Irvine, California. Bonus materials include the unaired encore performance from the special and his half-hour stand-up special, "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents Brian Regan."

Recently, Regan completed the summer leg of his summer stand-up tour, "Brian Regan In Concert: A COMEDY CENTRAL Live Event." Regan kicked off the tour in June and will continue visiting cities nationwide through spring 2008.

One of the premiere comedians in the country, Regan is a regular guest on "Late Show with David Letterman" and has starred in his own stand-up specials on COMEDY CENTRAL and Showtime. In 2004, Regan released the hugely successful DVD, "I Walked on the Moon," a follow-up to his 1997 CD, "Brian Regan Live" which has sold over 100,000 copies.
