After being booed off stage the first two times\, the third time Omar Regan got his first laugh and fell in love with stand-up comedy. \nThe next few years Regan went through the ups and downs of Stand-up comedy and found his groove by 2005 where Stand-up comedy scouts invited him to perform at the world famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Omar Regan then was scouted by agents for VH1’s reality series titled “Fight for Fame” which earned him a Hollywood agent in 2006. His agent promised a Comedy Central special if you went “dirty” with his comedy act. (ie. use of profanity\, explicit content etc). Regan strongly disagreed based on his vision of wanting to do comedy where a whole family could laugh together. Based on these creative differences\, the agency eventually dropped him\, and he decided to become independent. \nIn 2008 Omar Regan performed comedy for Al-Jazeerah and was invited to perform Stand-up in the Muslim World.
