Reginald Darnell Hunter (born 26 March 1969)[1][2] is an American stand-up comedian based in the United Kingdom.

Early life and family

Hunter was born in Albany, Georgia, the youngest of nine.[2] He undertook an acting internship in Jackson, Mississippi at age 20.[3] His mother died in 2004.[4]

Whilst appearing as a guest on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, Hunter revealed that he has a 16-year-old daughter whom he met for the first time in 2016.[5]

Stand-up comedy

Having initially travelled to the UK at the age of 27 as a summer student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,[6] Hunter became a comedian after performing his first comedy set as a dare, for which he received £100. Realising that he enjoyed performing comedy, and that it might be profitable, he turned his attention from acting to stand-up.[5]

In 2006 and 2008, he participated in Project X Presents events.{{cn|date=January 2018}} In 2013 he toured Ireland with his show In the Midst of Crackers.[7]

Hunter often uses variations of the term "nigga" in the titles of his shows; Reginald D Hunter: Pride & Prejudice... & Niggas attracted some controversy, and the poster was banned from the London Underground.[8] His tour with Steve Hughes, called Trophy Nigga, played 55 venues around the UK, but not all the venues used the tour title. Hunter joked that this was because promoters didn't like the word "trophy".{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

In April 2013, Hunter performed at an engagement for the Professional Footballers' Association. Following the event, PFA chairman Clarke Carlisle accused Hunter of racism, as he had used the word "nigger" during his set. Carlisle also said that some of those present had found Hunter's material "highly offensive". In response, Hunter posted to his Facebook page many photos of himself taken after his set with people attending the event, with most smiling.[9][10]

Awards

Hunter was nominated for the Perrier Award in the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Edinburgh Festivals.[11]

He won the Writers' Guild Award for Comedy in 2006 for his show Pride & Prejudice... & Niggas.[12]
