A fiercedisplay of hatred against blacks. He has presuppossed that a white, middle-class audience will have prejudices that their political temerity will usually prevent them from expressing, and has allowed those prejudices out: they can laugh simply because it's a black man telling nigger jokes this time. The acclaim he received does not surprise me, the white establishment has long loved a black man whose presence can allow them the appearance of liberalness, but whose words confirm all ideas of blacks as theives, idiots and objects of derision. Thanks to Hunter, they can now add traitors.

Very first time a saw RDH - although intellectual I thought him derogatory to black people (I am black), nothing but negativity for his own people. And the use of the word "Nigga" being used comfortably across the table (because a black man goes on stage and jokes about it) is dangerous.

The strength and the weakness of the show is that Reg is going through some changes at the moment. Im not sure if this show - and I do mean by Reg's amazing standards - had quite the conviction of the last one, which I thought was powerful, but it was a fascinating glimpse into a comic looking at his life with a level of depth and perception that is pretty much unrivalled. Fucking funny too.

People put themselves into boxes. Black, gay, ginger. Reginald D Hunter explains why PC has got it wrong. Funny as hell. Quite brilliant.

I saw him at the weekend and he was immense. A very funny man and yet when he is not making you laugh you are in awe of the man.

A very funny and intelligent guy with a sexy voice. I could listen to him for hours.
