The guy is basically unknown in the USA. As far as I can tell, he doesn't even tour in the US, either.
No American TV appearances + No stand-up appearances in America = Comic who is unknown in America"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Dude, the point is, people who are unknown in America aren't invalid and a little research into the subject would enlighten you as to why.Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View Post"I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

He was unknown to me as well but I found him to be amusing.

That Hunter guy is hilarious! And I never heard of him until now

Hunter grew up about 80 miles from where I did. I guarantee you he was Reggie until he went to Britain. Good stuff.

Albie and the concept of research are mutually exclusive of each other...Originally posted by MRT144 View Post
Well, at least the side effect of this thread is that 'Reggie Darnell Hunter' has been introduced to some American posters...
I saw him do his Pride & Prejudice... & Niggas gig in Cardiff a few years back.

The fun thing is that the second half, wich you didn't see, was about americansOriginally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostOnly the British find him funny, apparently. I notice how though he's an American he has had zero fame in the US. My friend is a stand-up comic and is really aware of comedians but he's never heard of this guy.
Went a few minutes into that bit and all he's talking about is British crap
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
