“Brian Regan: Live From Radio City Music Hall” will be the first live stand-up special in Comedy Central history, airing live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Saturday, September 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Regan approached Comedy Central with the idea of a live show as a way to do something special for his third hour-long stand-up special with the network. Fans can follow Regan on Twitter at @BrianReganComic, and tweet using the hashtag #BrianReganLive to join the social chatter around the live special.

“Brian Regan: Live From Radio City Music Hall” will be available on September 27 on the Comedy Central App to fans that sign in via their cable or satellite provider. The Comedy Central App is available for iPad and iPhone on the App Store, Android on Google Play, Roku, Xbox One and Chromecast. The special will also be available for download on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Xbox Video, Sony Entertainment Network, Vudu, Verizon Flexview and Google Play and on CC: Stand-Up Direct on October 2. The digital album will be available later this year on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Spotify and all streaming services and the physical album and DVD will be available early 2016.

One of the most respected comedians in the country, Regan is a legendary performer, selling out theaters from coast to coast and earning praise from the press, the public, and fellow comedians:

“He is one of my favorite, favorite stand-up comedians.” – Jerry Seinfeld
“No comedian in the world says, ‘Yeah, I want to follow Brian Regan.’” – Chris Rock
“Brian Regan is one of my favorite comics of all time, he’s just the best…an absolute master.” – Bill Burr
“Saw Brian Regan last night at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara. In a word (or three) Simply the Best!” – Dennis Miller
“You’re one of the rare guys that is universally respected by comics as being one of the most hilarious guys out there at stand-up.” – Joe Rogan
“Honestly, Brian Regan’s the best stand-up working today. Period.” – Patton Oswalt
“You’re the guy people look up to…Brian Regan’s the funniest guy…there’s Brian Regan and then there’s other people.” – Marc Maron
“I’ll take all of that guy you got…Very funny man.” – David Letterman

With his first stand-up appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in 1995, Regan solidified his place on the show and made his twenty-eighth and final stand-up appearance on May 8, the most of any comedian since the show moved to CBS in 1993. Regan made a scene-stealing cameo in the latest Chris Rock film, “Top Five,” and he was seen in Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” But it is stand-up comedy that is Regan’s focus visiting close to 100 cities each year and selling out some of the most beautiful venues on the continent. On September 5, 2015 Regan returned to the legendary 8600-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater and on March 18, 2016 he will return to the 12,500-seat EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City where he sold out two shows in 2014.

Regan’s two hour-long TV specials, two CDs and three DVDs have set a standard of excellence: “All By Myself” (2010), is available on CD and download only through his website; his two hour-long Comedy Central specials, “The Epitome of Hyperbole” (2008), and “Brian Regan Standing Up” (2007) are available on DVD; “I Walked on the Moon” (2004) is available on DVD through his website and “Brian Regan Live” (1997) is available on CD.

Comedy Central stand-up series include Adam Devine’s House Party,” “The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail,” “Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution,” “The Half Hour,” “Comedy Underground with Dave Attell“ and “This is Not Happening.”

  • Ten-Episode Series Executive Produced by Nikki Glaser, Chris Convy, Chris McGuire and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Alex Murray and Brad Petrigala
  • Stand-Up Special Executive Produced by Glaser and Murray

Comedy Central is getting down with Nikki Glaser as the all-comedy channel has greenlit “Not Safe with Nikki Glaser” to series and ordered a one-hour stand-up special, it was announced by Kent Alterman, President, Original Programming, Comedy Central. Executive produced by Glaser, Chris Convy, showrunner Chris McGuire (“The Roast of Justin Bieber”) and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Alex Murray (“@midnight with Chris Hardwick”) and Brad Petrigala, the ten episode weekly series, “Not Safe with Nikki Glaser,” is set to debut in 2016. Her one-hour original stand-up special is set to tape and is executive produced by Glaser and Murray.

“I was shocked to learn our fans have such keen interest in sex, but so be it,” said Alterman. “Nikki is the perfect talent to satisfy them.”

“I’m deeply touched that Comedy Central has decided to fulfill my Make-A-Wish dream of hosting a comedy show about sex. My parents are very proud (of my sister, who is a teacher),” said Glaser.

Hosted by Glaser, “Not Safe with Nikki Glaser” will blend chats with comedians, pre-taped vignettes and social experiments. Glaser and her guests will share personal stories about sex, relationships and other taboo topics. Glaser’s series promises to explore the current state of modern dating and be an outlet for viewers to find a frank, funny, and honest perspective on all things sex. The audience will also be encouraged to share their own potentially NSFW content with Glaser across multiple platforms. Gary Mann and Tara Schuster are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.

Glaser (@nikkiglaser), a stand-up comedian, writer and host, co-hosted MTV’s late-night talk show “Nikki & Sara LIVE” for two seasons and co-hosted the popular podcast “You Had To Be There.” She’s a New Yorker, often performing at clubs and touring as a national headliner. Glaser has performed stand-up on “The Tonight Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “Conan,” and “Last Comic Standing.” She is a frequent competitor on Comedy Central’s “@midnight with Chris Hardwick,” and has appeared in several other Comedy Central series including, “Inside Amy Schumer,” “Adam Devine’s House Party,” “The Burn with Jeff Ross,” “The Half Hour,” and “Comedy Underground with Dave Attell.” She can also be seen in the upcoming feature film “Trainwreck” coming this July.

Glaser is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, ICM and attorney Lev Ginsberg.
