“THIS IS COMEDY OF A RARE SCOPE” ««««« Times
Reginald D Hunter returns to Europe following his UK tour and a hugely successful year of filming and performing around the world! “SEARING SOCIAL COMMENTARY, DEEP SOUTH WISDOM AND JUICY PUNCHLINES ARE PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED” Independent
Reginald has been in the UK for just under two decades and in that time he has become one of the UK Comedy industry’s best-known performers. His work can be brutally honest and is often considered to be controversial but it is always meticulously thought out and he has never been afraid to face challenging issues head on, even when the focus is on his own principles or beliefs. “POISED, PROVOCATIVE, BRILLIANTLY FUNNY” Times
He recently travelled back to his birthplace in America to film the hugely popular documentary series, Reginald D Hunter’s Songs Of The South, for BBC2. He is a well-known face on primetime television shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and QI and is a frequent guest on Have I Got News For You. He has appeared in Argumental for Dave Channel and Would I Lie To You and Live At The Apollo for BBC1 and starred alongside Andy Hamilton in BBC4’s It’s Only A Theory. “IN AN AGE WHEN COMEDIANS TEND TO HAMMER AUDIENCES WITH MATERIAL, AND PLAY THE SELF-PROMOTION GAME FOR ALL IT’S WORTH, HE’S A REFRESHING CHANGE, STAND-UP COMEDY’S COOLEST CUSTOMER” Telegraph

Following sell-out tours of the UK and Australia and critically acclaimed debut tours of New Zealand and Scandinavia Reginald will be bringing his own unique blend of humour to back to Paris.
In the fifteen years since he began performing, Reginald D Hunter has become one of the UK Comedy industry’s best-known and most distinctive performers. His work is often brutally honest, frequently controversial but always meticulously measured and thought out.
Reginald’s popularity has led to him being invited to perform in venues around the world in places such as Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, New Zealand and The Sydney and Melbourne Comedy Festivals.

Laughing Matters Presents some Banter from Atlanta Reginald D Hunter caught in the act by stuart mcalister 105, rue du faubourg du Temple Paris 10 Tuesday 11 March 2008
.Laughing Matters In Paris Presented Reginald D Hunter Probably The Greatest Show To Date At La Java
eight and a half out of ten ? or just 10 out of ten ?
Tuesday 7th February 2006
Reg has owed us this show since thanksgiving 2004 when he halved his two sell out shows
in Paris to fly home to Atlanta and eat turkey and pumpkin pie.
It's been a long time coming but bound to be more than twice the worth of the weight.
Perrier Award nominee 2003, Reg is one of the good guys of comedy.
A hypnotic, smooth-talking, very human comedian who hits your funny bone
with tales of love, hate, death and all that is in between.
"Reg ecapsulates cool." Arthur (luke warm) Smith
“The coolest man in comedy, he’s got the natural charisma and stage presence that
most comics can only envy. His material is spellbinding.” Chortle
“Shockingly good. He is shocking and he is good.” The Herald
“Flagrantly misogynist and enforcing racial stereotypes of black people.” The Times
“It’s sometimes hard to fathom that what he is saying could be construed as controversial.
Even-handed but provocative.” The Independent
“Passion and intelligence a potent combination.” The Telegraph
“The most compelling comedy show I have seen in years, profound and hilarious.” Financial Times
“Masterful and important.” Sunday Times
“Pure gold... the perfect set.” Guardian
“Like his hero Richard Pryor, Reginald D Hunter is a man on a comedy mission.
Hugely talented and with an unerring sense of finding the right time to hit his audience with a punch line, this man will break through your social barriers with a humour.” The Scotsman
