A COMEDIAN renowned for brutally honest social commentary is bringing the opening night of his 45-date UK tour to Basingstoke.
Reginald D Hunter, pictured, has toured the UK for nearly two decades and appeared on television shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI.
His distinctive take on subjects including race and sexuality has seen him sometimes labelled as controversial, but never afraid to face challenging issues.
Having appeared at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Sydney Opera House Gala in Australia early in 2014, Reginald then made his debut in New Zealand at their Comedy Festival Opening Gala before going on to appear in Auckland and Wellington.
He then moved closer to home with his first tour of mainland Europe before travelling back to his birthplace in America to film Reginald D Hunter’s Songs of the South, which is due for transmission in early 2015. It is a three-part BBC2 series documenting Reginald’s epic road trip from North Carolina to New Orleans through 150 years of American popular song.
Reginald D Hunter brings The Man Who Attempted to Do as Much as Such to The Anvil in Basingstoke on Wednesday, April 29 at 8pm.
Tickets cost £25, to book call the box office on 01256 844244 or go online at anvilarts.co.uk.
