Brian Regan is appearing at the Saratoga Mountain Winery this Friday night. We interviewed him last year-- and it's still funny reading. Check it out.
From November 20, 2007
What's your take on the comedy scene in the Bay Area?
I don't live in the Bay Area, but I when i see Bay Area people slip on banana peels, I laugh my head off.
Any advice to aspiring comedians?
Don't say, "Sorry," after your punch lines.
What makes a joke funny?
Incongruency. (I read that when I was in college and first interested in comedy. It's still the biggest word I know.)
Is there anything that is not funny?
Congruency.
Please tell us a San Francisco joke
A grasshopper, walks into a bar in San Francisco, wearing a San Francisco t-shirt. The bartender, a native of San Francisco, says to the grasshopper, "Hey, we have a drink named after you." The grasshopper, a huge fan of both the San Fransisco 49ers and the San Fransisco Giants, asks, "You have a drink named Steve?"

I don't really get the grasshopper joke, but maybe because I was too distracted by this:
"a huge fan of both the San Fransisco 49ers and the San Fransisco Giants"
"Is there anything that is not funny?"
Yes, this interview.
