The US comic said it was his job to 'push boundaries' when creating humour after he reportedly made a joke comparing Israel to an abusive partner.
Comedian Reginald D Hunter has said he 'regrets any stress' caused after two Israeli audience members were booed out of his Edinburgh Fringe Festival gig, according to witnesses. The US stand-up was reportedly heard telling the pair to leave his Fluffy Fluffy Beavers show on Sunday night after they heckled him over a joke, calling it 'not funny', The Telegraph reported.
' Dominic Cavendish, chief theatre critic at The Telegraph who attended the show, said it was the 'most unpleasant comedy gig I've ever attended'. 'In the past I've had time for Hunter, a free-thinking outsider, who has lived in the UK since 1997,' Cavendish wrote in his review of the show.
