Comedy preview: Reginald D Hunter, Edinburgh

It's sometimes hard to take a good look at something when you are deeply immersed in it, and that's perhaps why the suave, American-born comedian Reginald D Hunter is very well placed to make a judgment on the British way of life in his new show, No Country For Grown Men. As an outsider, Hunter has an interesting and intelligent perspective on what makes us tick; he first moved to this country eight years ago and in that time has developed into one of the most exciting comics on the circuit, combining wit with insightful philosophy. An occasional comedy panel-show star, his acting training at Rada no doubt helps him to create often mesmerising performances that will leave you laughing and thinking, a potentially dangerous combination.
