Majestic Theater - 10/15/04
Friday, October 15, 2004, 11:26pm. Brian Regan wrapped up about an hour and fifteen minutes ago - it was quite a show. His total set including encore was about one hour and 26 minutes. It started off with Dean Lewis coming out to warm up the crowd. Dean Lewis is a local comic and has opened many a show for Brian Regan here in Dallas. Now, unfortunately for Dean and the crowd, the sound system was not set up properly for Dean's set. It was slightly garbled, too loud, and the treble was turned up too high. So, at the end of his set, there is an intermission and the Majestic has people work on the sound. A stage hand comes out on stage and does the requisite "Check... Check..." to a thunderous applause. Two more visits are equally received. Then Dean Lewis comes back with sound that is finally fixed (but still too loud) for a last couple of jokes before the main act.
Then Brian Regan - and the crowd goes wild!

Brian graciously agreed to meet me and my group after his show tonight to chat, take a couple of pictures and even sign some autographs. I took my closest friends with me.
Mr. Regan was quite friendly and gregarious answering questions with a smile even after his long set (and I'm thinking wearing a suit jacket on stage with all those lights on you can't be cool! My first thought after a show would be, "Take the suit jacket off. Drink water. Avoid people." But not Brian Regan - he took the time to talk to us).
