COMEDIANS don’t come much raunchier than Colin Kane, whose stand-up cracks— about one-night stands and ladyparts— are mostly unprintabl­e. Among his tamest material: “Kiss her neck and whisper, ‘I hope you have healthinsu­rance.’ ”

But about a year ago, fans noticed a change in his socialmedi­a, as the comic began posting photos of himself with his new girlfriend, YouTube vlogger Miya Beauregard. Was the guywho made Tucker Max seem like a gentleman roped down?

“She’s definitely tamed me,” Kane tells The Post. “I’m in a adifferent place inmy life. [But] any girl withme— you’ve got to have a dirty sense of humor.”

It’s a sign that positivity breeds success, he says. The NYC-bred comic, 35, has landed his first Hollywood role after moving to LA two years ago.

Kane appears in the comedy “The Wedding Ringer,” in theaters Friday, which stars Josh Gad as a friendless groom who hires Kevin Hart to be his best man. Kane comes on board as a squirrelly hired groomsman with a wispy mullet.

Kane, who recently shot a Showtime spe-special with Andrew Dice Clay, hopes his screen debut will lead tomore film roles in between selling out tourdates. He’s also auditionin­g andworking on selling a TV script that he wrote and would star in.

“Iwant to buy a nice house with a sit-down shower and a long gravel driveway,” hesays.

That’s a whole some dream for a guy who simulates receiving oral sex infront of crowds.

“People think . . . that I’m really like that” he says.“[But] the dirtier you are onstage, the nicer you are offstage.”
