A HELLO FROM OUR HEADLINER - DENNIS REGAN:When I was young, I was on track to fulfill my dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. Unfortunately I blew my knee out when I was in kindergarten. I came down a little too hard on the teeter totter one day. Right then and there, I realized I was going to have to find another way to make a living.
I reassessed my skills. I asked myself, “what are you good at?” The answers came easily. I liked daydreaming, goofing off, staring out the window, and cracking up my friends.
Okay, I made up the part about being a quarterback. My knee is fine! The true story might not be quite as fascinating, but here it is:
BEGINNINGS
I am a comedian. I wasn’t always though – I started doing stand-up comedy in my early thirties. Before that I had many different jobs, starting at age fourteen, I bussed tables, bagged groceries, killed bugs, threw luggage, waited tables, painted houses, worked construction, and ran a business just to name a few.
I hit my first open mic night at Coconuts Comedy Club in north Miami in 1987. I did okay. Four months later, I won a local contest. A month after that, a club owner paid me $30 a set to do my ten minutes on the weekend. I loved it! I still love it! Can’t think of anything I would rather do for a living.
THE NEW YORK STUFF
The next year I moved to New York City. I started doing late night shows and started to break into the main line-up of all the important clubs: The Improv, The Comic Strip, The Comedy Cellar, Catch A Rising Star, and Dangerfields.
Some people think I”m pretty good at it. I don’t like to argue with these people. They have a right to their opinion.
TELEVISION
I’ve been on television dozens of times. Multiple appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I’ve also been on Showtime and Comedy Central. You probably would have seen me if you didn’t have 800 channels. Some of my Letterman sets are on my website for your viewing and listening pleasure. I hope you like them.
WHAT I DO NOW
I’ve been doing comedy for over 20 years. I headlined most of the major comedy clubs in the States. I’ve traveled to every one of the 50 states except for maybe Arkansas. I don’t remember ever being in Arkansas. I work cruise ships, colleges, Vegas, Atlantic City, traveled to China and Ireland. I’m planning a trip to Australia this summer – we’ll see how that goes.

As part of The Spotlight Dinner Theatre's Dinner Show Extravaganza Series at CJ's Backstage on select Wednesday nights in 2025, you'll find an immersive experience from the moment you walk in!
Doors are 30 minutes prior to the showtime so we can get you checked in and guided to your seat so you can enjoy the buffet. Pair it with your favorite libation from CJ's full liquor bar - try one of our themed cocktails! (Your drink orders are billed separately and make sure you tip your servers!)
The 75 minute show follows dinner and does not have an intermission - but we do have some giveaways!
After the show be sure to meet our cast - we love photo ops!
All Tickets include a Buffet and the Comedy Show! (We have eight Show Only tickets available which are priced at $30 - they will have doors at 4:45pm for a 6pm show and 7:45pm for a 7pm show. These DO NOT include a meal and you will be seated at the last 8 bar seats in the back of the room.)
You don't get to choose your seats, but you can choose your section! All tickets are "Vegas-style" where you will be seated with other fans, unless you purchase 4 tickets where we will place you at your own table.
$45 General Admission tickets give you a seat at the bar, along the railing, or in the back of the room.
$60 VIP Tickets also include a VIP Swag Bag and we'll seat you at the best seats in the house close enough to be heckled!
