Brian is hilarious but the format seems really forced. Wish Netflix gave him true standup time, not this
Brian Regan is a legend and his stand up alone is worth watching here. But the show format is somewhat contrived and feels forced and deliberate in some parts. The audience questions are interesting enough but appear pre-arranged and coming from super fans (like me). The "floor manager" is completely unnecessary and too obvious as a cue for segues to segments or banal reactions. A complete distraction. Can he not host this himself? In essence, great, original comedy delivered in poorly conceived concept that adds unneeded waste and insults the viewer's intelligence.
I used to LOVE Brian. When i found him like 15 years ago, i thought he was a genius comic. His physical comedy augments his material PERFECTLY. I love that he works clean. I had gone to see Brian 5 or 6 times live in the northeast area over the years and as each visit happened, i noticed something that was clear. He was relying on decades old material on each successive event. And this was over a period of 10 years. He of course has people shout out from the audience to do these old bits, but i don't understand that. I almost thought it was plants in the audience to do it...even when they DONT shout out requests, he still does bits that he's done from the early 90's; a LOT. I ALWAYS give material he puts out a good shake. This show included. But unfortunately, it's been the same. To get me back, he needs to do a lot more recent material. That's my take.
Brian's comedy has never really evolved over the years, which is fine for the most part but it shows its age here. Especially since, as mentioned in other reviews, a lot of it is recycled material.
It was only 4 20(ish) minute episodes so it was pretty painless, but two days later and I really only remember one skit being funny. There were a few chuckles here and there, but hopefully they don't green light a second season.

If you're new to Brian's standup act, you may find this very enjoyable. Otherwise, it's a lot of recycled material. Some of the acted out bits are pretty funny, others not so much. The interaction with the "floor manager" and the audience seems forced overall. Was hoping for better.
