Brian Regan is the anti-George Carlin. He won’t say any of the seven words you can’t say on television, he won’t speak in antagonized tones, and he doesn’t criticize the government, religion or the status quo. In fact, the status quo is Regan’s feeding ground; his most famous skits revolve around doctors, food labels, Little League, telephones and, of course, flying. Having now starred in two of his own Comedy Central specials, Regan brings his everyman form of clean humor to the lily-white crowds of wine country this weekend in a show that won’t cause nervous wincing while sitting next to the kids. If your family outings usually mean driving the Suburban to Costco for a $1.50 pizza and soda dinner combo and renting Ishtar from Blockbuster, then Regan’s your comedian. Laugh it up on Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Wells Fargo Center. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. $39.50–$43.50. 707.546.3600.Gabe Meline
