Reginald D Hunter in Perth tonight.

Seems like somebody who would be good to have a pint with but not what you could ever call an A lister for stand up. Think his delivery leaves something to be desired and the material itself very much "meh".

A few years back, I went round to my dealer's house one Saturday afternoon for a cheeky pick-me-up of Colombia's finest export (coffee, obviously). Upon entering, I noted a somewhat imposing gentleman lying prostrate on the couch, surrounded by assorted drug paraphernalia and accoutrements.

 

"This is Reg", my dealer kindly informed me. Reg, stirring briefly from his couch-based stupor, lifted his head and nodded in my general direction. "S'up, I'm Reeeejjjj...". Immediately I recognised the unmistakable American Deep South drawl as belonging to none other than noted stand-up comedian and regular TV panel show guest Reginald D. Hunter. "S'up Reg, I saw you at the Edinburgh Festival a few years back", I offered, pointlessly. "Shiiiiiiit", replied Reg, clearly blown away by my awesome banter, before laying his head back down and returning to his stupor. Scenez.

 

Not long after, my dealer got a 6 year stretch in prison for possession of £100k's worth of cannabis and cocaine, and Reg seemingly went on to pile on the pounds and appear in glamorous locales such as Perth. Funny how life pans out eh ?

New Dave Chappelle special. 

Massive fan but utter dog shit. 

Turned off after 15 tragic minutes. 

Really poor.

Kevin Bridges.

Law of diminishing returns in effect here IMO. Seen him three times, first was excellent, second less brilliant but still very good and this time first half was not bad but as it went on I started to tune out. Only done 70-75 minutes as well so a bit short on quantity for a top price show. 6.7/10

Warm Up.

Suzie McCabe. Only caught last five minutes. She got a few laughs from the hall but not exactly a unanimous endorsement. 

Karl Spain. Did 15 min set and got the place going. Really good set.

Aww and there was a punch up between three guys half a dozen seats away from myself which was amusing enough to watch during Bridges set.

Imagine what his crowd will be like tomorrow night after a Glasgow derby earlier in the day. Got to be a good chance of carnage at that.

Some prick shouted out on that. Shouts "what about Saturday?" Bridges didn't bite, just gave it what about Saturday? Its fuckin Thursday mate. Cunts just can't leave it alone, think they're the centre of the universe.

Chris Rock - Selective Outrage. 

Brother looks like he's never ever gonna get back to the quality of his early career -  Bigger & Blacker and Never Scared.   But he's still Chris fucking Rock. 

Fucking no idea how he has gone from being a freakishly ugly, young dude to a quite handsome man approaching pension age.   Be money and surgeries involved though.   Removing the daft beard probs helped. 

Pretty good show man.   Lets rip on Big Willy about the Oscars slap at the end.   Fucks up the skit a little, but can be forgiven as he was angrily purging the humiliation of a public emasculation.  

 

Worth a watch.

Went to see Rich Hall last night. Disappointing. Left in the interval to go back to the boozer.

Must have been you at fault as he was decent at the Tivoli.

Gonna imagine he always sings about the train to Garlogie and didn’t just adapt that for the big Dons support.
