American stand-up comedian Reginald D Hunter returns to St Albans this spring with his highly-anticipated new show.

He will be appearing at The Alban Arena as part of his new UK tour Some People v Reginald D Hunter on Thursday, May 4.

Tickets for the show are on sale now.

In the years that he has been living and performing in the UK, Reginald’s searingly honest material has garnered him a popular fan base that spans the generations.

Over the past 12 months he has appeared in a critically acclaimed tour of Ireland, as well as performing across Europe.

His appearances on television have included 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and three-part BBC Two series Reginald D Hunter’s Songs Of The South, which documented Reginald’s epic road trip from North Carolina to New Orleans through 150 years of American popular song.

Although from Georgia, America, Reginald has been in the UK for just under two decades and in that time he has become one of the comedy industry’s best-known performers for his distinctive take on subjects including race and sexuality.

His work can be brutally honest and is often considered to be controversial, but it is always meticulously thought out and he has never been afraid to face challenging issues head on, even when the focus is on his own principles or beliefs.

He is a well-known face on prime time television shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and QI and is a frequent guest on Have I Got News For You.

Reginald has also appeared in Argumental for Dave Channel, and Would I Lie To You? and Live At The Apollo for BBC One.
