I'm not sure any US members will have heard of Reginald D Hunter but he's made a niche for himself on British television over the last few years.

Was that an introduction or some instruction for our American friends ?

I wonder if he knows he has a perspiration problem ?

I doubt whether I could stand on the Apollo stage for five minutes in front of that size crowd and not break into a sweat.

As an introduction to the British, he could have a place on the US schools curriculum.

I love this guy.

I have been watching him as a regular guest on 'Have I Got News For You' for some years.





He rocks :guitarist:guitarist

Have not heard of him before----but I like the video ----At first I thought he was appearing at the famous APOLLO THEATER in Harlem, NY. There are whole bunch of really good stand up comics and the competition is fierce. It's particularly tough for UK comics to do well in the U.S. (Mr. Bean for example). I like Bean, but he flopped here. There is a distinct cultural difference in humor. Conversely, it can be equally difficult for U.S. stand ups to do well in Britain.

That's due to your foriegn policy ;););)

Seriously... I think us Brits take to American stand-up Comedians far easier than vise versa. Many of our greats just would not hack it In the US. You can keep Joan Rivers though...She's foul.

The Greatest and funniest US comedian I have seen In stand up has to be Obama... He makes me laugh.

Before your meteoric flight burns out, could you perhaps explain why you're putting all this effort into it?

Hall had a couple of delivery's that was funny but can't say I share the same type of humor as he.

Quite frankly, I'm the funniest man in the Universe! :yh_wink
