Reginald D Hunter makes people laugh by taking on taboo subjects. In Edinburgh this year, he has got into trouble following accusations that his subtly-titled show is anti-Semitic.
That is unfortunate because, while he addresses awkward subjects, he could as easily have been accused of sexism, racism and practically every other prejudice. That is the nature of the art form.
The Udderbelly holds 300 plus people and Hunter plays his audience so well that all seem to have a great laugh. That is unusual with comics and is a measure of this big man's script and delivery.
He was angry on the night after The Times had made its accusation but he still got a laugh out of Jews but by doing little more than expressing the word itself at great length and volume.
His main subjects are the human foibles that make relationships between men and women awkward and also the Black experience. Hunter is an American who now lives in London and, on occasion, even his friends seem to struggle with his colour, while he worries about the effect if he gets tied to a woman.
The show is very slickly produced and, unlike so many stand-ups, the comedy is sustained throughout the hour and best of all, the comedian leaves you wanting more.
He may offend some with both his subject matter and language, but Reginald D Hunter's Pride and Prejudice and Niggas is one of the most polished acts in town and well worth a visit.
