On his comedy tour through the nation, Comedian

Highlight:

In the midst of a joke about how a used car dealership tied balloons to everyone of their cars in order to increase sales, Regan turns away from the crowd. He expresses how humans are fascinated by the mere presence of balloons, and as he turns sideways, a half dead balloon floats down from the ceiling (this was not staged). The wilted balloon falls into the laughing crowd, and Regan–having missed seeing the balloon–turns to the crowd and says, “I feel like I’m the only person in this room who has no idea whats going on right now”

Someone yells, “a balloon, a balloon,” and Regan looks down to where the balloon fell into the audience

“I see. Yeah, I don’t want to put you into a tight spot or anything, but I’m going to need you to pop that balloon. Because, you see, I’ve been in the industry long enough to know I can’t compete with a balloon.”
