10 Ridiculously Controversial Stand Up Comedians You Need To See

4. Reginald D Hunter

reginald d hunter Another American born stand up with a love of outrage Reginald hit the headlines in the press recently for his comedy set at a footballer€™s awards in which he poked fun at several players who had been accused of racism. This caused a lot of offensive and embarrassment for the people who booked him Before the incident Reg had already built up a reputation as a straight talking comedian taking on tough subjects like race in his charming Southern drawl. He chats to his crowd and seemingly delights in the English way of life making many astute observations about our way of life. Everything he says just feels funny and that southern charm just seems to make British crowds love him. http://youtu.be/YPs4sQklyxg His racially charged comments can make some people feel uneasy certainly his constant use of the N word is still shocking to many crowds but Reginald understands the tone of racism far better than someone like me could. A black man growing up in southern states of America means Reg will have seen lots of racism first hand giving him the knowledge and confidence to speak so freely and fluently on it. Out of every comic on this list I€™d say Reginald is the most unknown out of all of them despite his many TV panel show appearances. Hopefully more people will go and see him and admire what an amazingly smart comedian Reg is and for anyone going looking for some controversial comedy that€™s smart and can leave you roaring with laughter there are few better now that Reginald D Hunter.
