Comedian Reg Thomas embraces his Haitian heritage and Brooklyn roots in shaping his comedic style. He aims to portray Haitian culture positively, ensuring audiences can relate to and be proud of their identity. Thomas humorously discusses the realities of dating in New York City, particularly how ride-sharing services have changed traditional dating dynamics. He highlights the importance of social media for comedians, noting that content reflecting relatable experiences often garners more attention than serious topics. With a background in journalism and film studies, he's carved out a niche on stage across various cities.
"Creole is funny. I never wanted to be up on stage saying I was Haitian and not make Haitian people feel proud, or not leave Haitian people looking better than how I met them."
"Every New Yorker has a story about travelling two or three boroughs to get some a**. But now Uber has killed off the 'walk of shame' because you can just hop in a car and hide in the morning."
"The social media algorithm can make or break a comic's career. If you post something about a team of Haitian doctors donating their services to the community, that's not a good social media post."
"Comedy life is road life. Thomas can often be found on stage in places like Houston, Omaha and Boston."
