Stand-up set by Brian Regan paired with a live pitch competition in which veteran entrepreneurs present their businesses and the audience votes for the winner.
Brian Regan is playing the Capitol Theatre on Thursday, November 19, as part of Standup for Startups, a night that pairs a stand-up set with a live pitch competition. The evening is presented by Warrior Rising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides mentorship, training, and capital to veterans building their own businesses. All proceeds from the night go toward that mission.
Regan is one of the country's most respected comedians, known for a clean, observational style and physical comedy that fills theaters and arenas without relying on profanity or crude material. His work has been featured on Netflix, and he's built a reputation for comedy that works for all ages. The second half of the night shifts to the pitch competition: veteran entrepreneurs present their businesses, and the audience votes for the winner, who receives a grant. Between the two, you get a full set from Regan and a first-hand look at a few veteran-led startups.
If you're planning to go, there's a dress code to keep in mind: Tactical Black, which means all-black cocktail, formal, or black-tie attire. For those who attend these events regularly, there's the 6 Club, a $6-a-month membership that funds Warrior Rising's work and adds perks like a fast-pass entry line, the best seats, and a members-only raffle.
