Reg Thomas

Reg Thomas is no stranger to funny. Once it was clear that Reg wasn’t going to be tall it was time to get funny. Some of his earlier inspirations include Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and his Haitian immigrant parents. Reg’s comedic talents have been commissioned by media companies such as BuzzFeed, Complex Media and Atlantic Records over the years. Whether touring with Amanda Seales (HBO Special “I Be Knowin’”) or Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live), Reg is always writing. Without a doubt he is having the time of his life making sold out audiences in theaters and clubs across the country laugh. When he’s not on the road you can find Reg on stage at a comedy club and working on his comedy brand and show; Productively Stoned.
