My Favorite Comedian Who Still Performs Standup



My Favorite Comedian 
Who Still Performs Standup




Sadly, at this moment, My Favorite Comedian Who Still Performs Standup isn't even me! I'm still my favorite comedian. If only because I get most of my jokes. Almost all of 'em! It's like we have the exact same sense of humor! So much so that I could be a clone of myself! Hmm. Now I wonder if I am. 

As you already know from my books about comedy, especially "How To Write All Kinds of Comedy Jokes: Volume 3: How to Write like Famous Comedians", and from previous blog posts. Brian Regan is my favorite comedian who still performs standup, since I'm not doing so at this time. My other favorites include Woody Allen, Steve Martin, and Mitch Hedburg, but they no longer perform stand up. Of those who still perform, I also enjoy Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Wright


Brian Regan: “[The pilot explaining a flight delay]: ‘Uh, somebody put our engine in upside-down. And, uh, there’s only one tool in our galaxy that can fix this. And, uh, it’s in Madagascar. The tower has instructed us to go to a holding area; and remain there, until everyone on board dies a natural death.’ So you go there and die.” 

Brian Regan: “I watch ‘Dora the Explorer’ with her [his daughter], you know, ‘cause she likes it. So I watch it with her, you know. It’s a good show. I’d probably watch that, if I didn’t have kids.” 

Reading his material isn't quite the same as hearing it; and just hearing it isn't quite the same as watching him perform. Brian Regan's inflections, expressions, antics, and material teach us we can be truly hilarious without resorting to dirty tricks.

Getting laughs seems so easy using Brian Regan’s goofy voice. But his antics and expressions add to the Punch too. And not only do his voice and actions carry the comedy, his writing is brilliant. His amazing material with his definitive delivery creates consummate comedy.

Remember The Laughter As We Remember Robin Williams



I'm stunned. Astonished to the core. Just last night, I turned on the TV around 8:40 to watch the rest of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" on the CW. During commercials, I switched to ME TV, so I could hit the last channel button at 9 pm to watch "Hogan's Heroes". But then I saw that the episode of "Happy Days" airing then was the one with Robin Williams as Mork from Ork (Season 5, Episode 22: "My Favorite Orkan"), so I stayed on that channel to watch the rest of that episode. And then, early this morning, I saw a notice on Facebook that said: "Actor Robin Williams dies at 63". How shocking. how sad. But since Robin was one of the greatest comedians of all time, let's not focus on the sorrow, instead, let's ...

Tips on How to Write like Famous Comedians


How to Write 

All Kinds of Comedy Jokes

Volume 3:

Tips on How to Write 

Like Famous Comedians 

by



Comedy Isn’t Easy, But It Just Got Easier With: 

“How to Write All Kinds of Comedy Jokes”



Must you be born funny to make people laugh? Groucho Marx wasn’t born with glasses, a mustache, and a cigar. Even Steve “Born Standing Up” Martin wasn’t born wearing an arrow through his head. (Lucky for his mom, ‘cause that would have hurt!) Although Woody Allen might have been born with frizzy red hair and glasses. 

A lifelong student of comedy, a real stand-up guy, an improv performer, and the author of books as varied as “Holy Laughter!” and the comedy novel “Monster Laughs”, Dean Burkey shares his thoughts and the tips and techniques he’s learned over the years in a series he wishes had been written for him when he first started. 

Humor enhances our lives, so improve your comic abilities with “How to Write All Kinds of Kinds of Comedy Jokes”. Anyone from a comical newbie to a professional comedy writer can benefit from this series. Don’t let your comedy dreams pass you by! This book and this series can help you make others laugh! (See the guarantee below.) 

Volume 3: Tips on How to Write like Famous Comedians


This volume covers tips for writing like Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Brian Regan, and Mitch Hedberg and also offers pointers to help you write like yourself, or rather, a much funnier version of yourself. Makes a great companion to the first two volumes, teaching you how to write multiple jokes on a single topic. As well as what to do with the jokes you write! 

The trailer for Woody Allen’s movie “Love and Death” inspired me to think of film comedy. His story “The UFO Menace” made me want to write comedy. 

Steve Martin was such a strong comedic influence during my formative years. Made me want to perform standup. 

Brian Regan is my favorite current standup comedian. Besides me. His inflections, expressions, antics, and material teach us we can be truly hilarious without resorting to dirty tricks. 

I didn’t “discover” Mitch Hedberg until after he died. But his cadence, delivery, and fast-paced material teach us to go for the laughs. No monkeying around, just make people laugh.

Woody Allen - The Moose

Uploaded on Aug 21, 2007 by


Woody Allen
Well, my wife was an immature woman; 
and, uh, that’s all I can say, she. 
See if this is not immature to you: 
I would be home in the bathroom, 
taking a bath; 
and my wife would walk right in, 
whenever she felt like, 
and sink my boats.

Steve Martin
I’m not into that one-night thing. 
I think a person should get to know someone, 
and even be in love with them, 
before you use and degrade them.


Dean Burkey
I found Nemo. 

He was at Red Lobster. 

Part of their combo platter. 

And he was delicious.

They ask the most insulting question 
when you check into a hospital. 

“What seems to be the problem?” 

“What seems? 
Well it seems; 
it seems like everything on my inside 
wants to be on my outside. 
But I’m no doctor.” 
What kind o’ condescending question.

I wanna be a race car passenger, 
just a guy who bugs the driver. 
“Say man, can I turn on the radio? 
You should slow down. 
Why we gotta keep going in circles? 
Can I put my feet out the window? 
Man, you really like Tide.”
