Very much a Work in Progress, Hunter comes on, notebook in hand, and reassures the audience it will be alright. Shambolic, but entertaining. And so it proved.
His is a very philosophical humour, slow paced and meandering, looking for punchlines in societal issues. Defining what is a woman, Jews, mothers and sons, trans people, the function of stand up in society. Hunter doesn't shy away from controversial subjects, and brings unexpected slants into regularly heard discussions, where what comes next is never the expected. But always with plenty of laughs.
The show is evolving, will no doubt change night on night. But it will remain enjoyable, thought provoking, occasionally risky and definitely original.
Reginald D Hunter - The Man Who Could See Through Shit is on at 19.55 in the Assnmbly Rooms until the 20th.
