Some people might argue that it's too early to start making New Year's Eve plans. We'll just assume those people haven't heard the news about Brian Regan. The renowned comedian is kicking off the second leg of his 2014 North American tour with stops in 48 cities, including Phoenix on Wednesday, December 31.

Now for the reason to start planning: Tickets to the Comerica Theatre show go on sale today.

The mass appeal of his observational, sometimes self-deprecating humor in the realm of coffee, flying, belly buttons, and everything in between has made him one of the most recognizable comedians to grace the The Late Show with David Letterman, having appeared on the show a record-breaking 26 times since his 1995 debut.

But Regan isn't just the people's comedian, he's the comedian's comedian, winning the approval of stand-up of giants like Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron, and Jerry Seinfeld, who recently featured Regan as a guest on his show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Tickets for Regan's NYE show at Comerica go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 25. Ticket prices range from $35 to $65. The show starts at 8 p.m. For details and to save your seats, visit www.ticketmaster.com or call the box office at 602-379-2800.
