Reginald D. Hunter’s Live Show Cancelled After Audience Members Complained He Made Anti-Semitic Joke
Reginald D Hunter's joke at Edinburgh Fringe caused two audience members to complain he made anti-Semitic comment.
The Eastwood Theatre has dropped his show a day after Hunter apologised for what he called “an unfortunate incident” at the venue in George Square Studios. It reports that the event’s hosts, East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, said they cancelled the show due to “controversial comments.” It also defended “the freedom of expression of artists” and it expected audiences to “extend some latitude to many acts.” Hunter wrote on social media that he regretted any “stress caused” but added “as a comedian I do push boundaries in creating humour, it’s part of my job.”
