From a press release:

Considered by critics, fans, and fellow comedians as one of the best stand-ups in the country, funnyman Brian Regan has announced the dates of his nonstop theater tour in the spring of 2019.

He will perform at the Hershey Theatre on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for this show, which range from $40-$50 (processing fees apply), go on sale this Friday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Hershey Theatre box office (15 E. Caracas Ave., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3405 and 800-745-3000.

Premiering Oct. 16, Brian Regan will reprise his role of “Mugsy” in the second season of Peter Farrelly’s TV series “Loudermilk” on the Audience Network. Farrelly personally cast Regan in the series, which premiered on Oct. 17, 2017 to rave reviews, with Regan earning accolades for his portrayal of a recovering addict who is estranged from his family.

On Nov. 21, 2017, Regan premiered his first Netflix special, “Nunchucks and Flamethrowers,” the first of a two-special deal with Netflix. His previous stand-up special, “Live from Radio City Music Hall” (2015), was the first-ever live broadcast of a stand-up special in Comedy Central’s history. It was critically acclaimed, with Vanity Fair calling Regan “the funniest stand-up alive.”

Regan made his Carnegie Hall debut on Nov. 11, 2017 following years of performances in New York City’s finest theaters, including the Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, the Beacon Theater, and Radio City Music Hall. His tours have included regular visits to Denver’s legendary 8,600-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater and the 12,500-seat EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City.

A regular on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Regan is the rare stand-up guest who the show invites on for two segments: a performance segment, followed by a segment on the couch to chat with Fallon. Making 28 stand-up appearances on the “Late Show With David Letterman,” Regan was also a guest on two episodes of Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” and made a scene-stealing cameo in Chris Rock’s film “Top Five.”

Regan’s comedy releases include: “Nunchucks and Flamethrowers” on Netflix; “Live From Radio City Music Hall,” airing on Comedy Central and available on CD and DVD and as a video or audio download; “All By Myself” (2010), available on CD and as a download only through his website; his two previous hour-long Comedy Central specials, “The Epitome of Hyperbole” (2008) and “Standing Up” (2007), available on DVD or as a video or audio download; “I Walked on the Moon” (2004), available on DVD or as an audio or video download only through his website; and “Brian Regan Live” (1997), available on CD.

The wristband policy will be in effect for this concert. Fans are permitted at the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex beginning at 7 a.m. on Sept. 28. Two hours prior to the on-sale, fans will be directed in front of the Hershey Theatre box office, where they will be issued a numbered wristband. Wristbands are available for one hour and, at the conclusion of that hour, a selected fan will randomly choose a wristband that will determine the line order. Once the line is in place, fans arriving after the wristbands were issued will be escorted to the end of the numbered line.
