Real Deal Comedy Jam XMAS Special 2026

Reg Thomas is an American stand-up comedian and writer based in New York City.

Born and raised in Brooklyn to Haitian immigrant parents, he frequently uses his multicultural upbringing, family heritage, and the modern dating landscape as comedic material. He is best known as a finalist on Netflix’s Kevin Hart’s Funny AF series and for his viral stand-up specials with Don't Tell Comedy, which have earned millions of views online.

Combining stories from his formative years in the East End of London with tales from his Caribbean cultural heritage, Quincy mixes both worlds to great comedic effect. The award-winning comedian has appeared on Comedy Central's 'Comedy Blue' and BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC New Comedy Awards Finalist, MTV's Kojo;s Comedy Funhouse and BBC R4 Extra's Comedy On The Boat.

Quincy is regarded as one of the best of a new wave of comics to come out of the UK, with a regular turnover of material and a stage presence second to none - that has put him among the most well respected comics on the scene.

Travis Jay burst onto the comedy scene in 2009, after being inspired by Kojo's Comedy Funhouse. He's continued to go from strength to strength performing in many venues across the country including The Comedy Store, Comedy Cafe, The Barbican, Hackney Empire and The Shaw Theatre.

Drawing on observations on life for his material, his influences are the likes of Bernie Mac, Dane Cook, John Bishop, Kat Williams and Dave Chapelle. He has previously warmed up for Ava Vidal at Soho Theatre and Angie Le Mar - his mother! - at the Barbican.
