Queens, Kings, and other Things -- it is my pleasure to introduce to you one guy that you never want to end up in a comedy roast with, Reginald Manning! Weighing in at 100 pounds wet, Reggie is the heavyweight champ of pure underground comedy. He holds not 1 but 2 stand-up appearances under his belt. The 24 year old shoe fanatic is on his way to becoming a house hold name by delivering his jokes at any given moment! Look out Steve Harvey, he's watching the throne!
I sat down with the hilarious up & coming Comedian and covered various topics. He's very talented and truly holds the gift of making others smile & laugh. From his sick shoe game to his laid back personality, Reggie is known for being an all around cool cat from the streets of Monroe, LA to the highways of St. Louis, MO. Here's what he had to say:
A'Kira: Where did you discover your comical capabilities?
Reggie: As Far As When? I'll Probably Have To Say Back In Elementary Like You
Know As A Kid, Every Kid Wanted Attention Weather It Be From Their
Parents Or Whomever Me Myself I Wanted It From Everybody & As Far As
How I'd Have To Say A lot of Hours In Detention. Lol Sorry Mom!
A'Kira: Did you automatically gain a hunger to be on the scene as a comedian or did that come about later in life?
Reggie: I Was Hungry At A Young Age. I Ate Mostly Lunchables Though, The Pizza Kind You
Know With The Cheese & The Pepperoni! You Remember Those, Huh? Lol!
But All Jokes Aside I Wasn't Passionate About It Til' I Got Older- Like I
Had This Mindset That Entertaining People Was God's Purpose For Me
Everybody Has A Purpose In Life. You Just Have To Have Faith That
You'll Find It & It's Never To Late To Do So.
A'Kira: What was the moment like when you knew it was time to pursue comedy?
Reggie: I Watched A lot Of TV & I Would Study Comedic Actors Such As Will
Smith, Chris Tucker, Cedric The Entertainer & So On & Then It
Hit Me, Like It Literally Hit Me Because My TV Had Fell Off My Dresser. I
Had Stitches For About A Week! It Was Crazy! I'm Ok Now Though. Lmao, But
Yeah I Would Always Get A lot Of Feed Back From People Like "OMG Your So
Funny", " You Should Have Your Own Show." "I Want To Have Your Baby" You
Know How Females Are! And This Was Coming From People I Didn't Even
Know! I Knew What I Was Capable Of I Just Needed The Opportunity To
Display My Talent. So, I went for it!
He is so funny that I can't take him serious! It's gets better.......
A'Kira: Possessing the gift of humor attracts quite a few ladies I'm sure. What sparks your interest and what pushes a funny guy like you away?
Reggie: Ahahaha! True Story Though, Sometimes I Feel Like David Ruffin Minus The
Whole Cocaine Abuse. Lol! But I Love Women, Light skinned Women
Especially. I Don't Discriminate But It's Just Something About Them You
Know They Just Brighten My Day Cause When It's Cold Outside I Have The
Month Of May. Lol, Do You Follow Me? Ahahaha But Far As My Sparks, She
Would have To Be Respectful, Trustworthy, Caring, Smart, Anti-Lacefront,
Ambitious, Great Sense Of Humor, Sneaker-Head & A Woman Of God. The
Things That Push Me Away are Lace-fronts With Extra Glue, Alcoholics,
Negativity & Hood!
A'Kira: Unfortunately, everyone doesn't have a sense of humor. Have your jokes ever offended or ran off any lady friends?
Reggie: I'm Not To Sure Really, Because 9 Times Out Of 10 She Already Knows What
She's Getting Into, "I'm Reggie" Lol I Mean I Have Limits If I Know
Shes Sensitive About A Certain Subject, I Won't Touch It. I Was Raised
To Have The Utmost Respect For People, Not Only Women. So I Know What To
Poke Fun At & What Not To. My Intentions Are To Make People Laugh
Not To Come Off As Being Disrespectful.
How sincere =)
A'Kira: What can we expect from you soon?
Reggie: Greatness. Simple As That! I Just Want to Be Great!
Lots Of Videos, Parody Songs, Comedy Sketches I Got That All Coming Soon I'm Doing It All!
Enough said! Reggie is destined for greatness. With a sparkling personality and gentleman-like ways I am 100% sure that he will capture the hearts of America with his comedy.
