BOOK
Brian JK Regan came to Los Angeles by way of Atlanta in Fall 2012, soon after graduating from New York University's Gallatin School. His introduction to entertainment as art came through a decade of summer employment at Circus Camp, where improv and clowning were fundamental to his day-to-day responsibilities. Across his time in college, he developed a course of study in comedy writing; covering everything from screenplays to stage plays, satire to stand-up. Soon after arriving in LA, he interned at a management company before taking the leap to become a personal assistant to a nationally-touring comedian. After another, separate assistant role to Kirkland comic Sammy Obeid, Brian was able to employ his first-hand understanding of the college market in order to join Kirkland Productions as founder Gina's right-hand man at the end of 2015.
In Fall 2020, Brian became the owner and president of the agency, then moved the entire enterprise back to his hometown of Atlanta, GA. When he's not laughing, you can find Brian at the roller rink, the swimming pool, or his bed kicking back to read essays on any topic. He lives in Benteen Park with a near-perfect cat named Ponce, and he hasn't yet met the legendary comedian Brian Regan but it's inevitable. BOOK
PanelistRyan Kelly LAUGHING DEVIL FESTIVAL, GILDA'S LAUGHFEST, HELIUM ST. LOUIS, DR. GRINS, ROAST BATTLE
Ryan Kelly is from St. Louis, Missouri and exactly as midwestern as you would imagine. After going to Christian school for 18 years, also known as the full program, he’s justifiably earned the youth pastor look and vibe he gives off. Faith, however, was forced upon him through his wild death defying life experiences. He’s survived a plane crash, been tackled inside the NSA, negotiated a better deal during a mugging and more. All of these experiences were filmed through shaky cam thanks to his essential tremor. A condition that according to medical science is caused by your guess being as good as the next guys. He doesn’t mind though, and his upbeat attitude while recounting these experiences will keep you wondering if you can have what he’s having. Though it’s been a bumpy road he’s always shakin but never stirred. WEBSITE | |
