Reggie Watts

"Amazing and unlike anything you have ever seen. Unless you have seen a comedic stream of conscious operatic beat-boxing marvel. Then it's like that."
- Eugene Mirman

Comedian/musician Reggie Watts is a staple of the international comedy and performance scene. Reggie's improvised sets are created on-the-spot using only his voice and a looping machine. No two songs or performances are ever the same.

This spring, Reggie toured North America with Conan O'Brien on the Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour. Reggie has played sold-out runs at Fusebox, SXSW, Bonnaroo, Soho Theatre (London), Brian Eno's Luminous Festival at the Sydney Opera House, Montreal Comedy Festival, PopTech!, Vancouver Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot, Sydney Festival, Outside Lands Festival and cities throughout the world including Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne, Madrid, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Cape Town and Rekjavik, among others.

"...one of the most talked-about comics in the alt-comedy scene." – Media Elites

Reggie has received the ECNY Award (2009), the Brighton Festival's Argus Angel Award (2010) and the Andy Kaufman Award (2006) for his brand of innovative stand-up performance. He was recently profiled in New York Magazine and the New York Times.

"He has a really great, creative, unusual act. He’s amazingly talented." - Conan O'Brien

On screen, Reggie has appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, HBO's The Yes Men Save The World, Comedy Central's Michael and Michael Have Issues, "Funny Or Die," as well as PBS's revamped Electric Company. Reggie's CD/DVD Why $#!+ So Crazy was released on Comedy Central Records May 18th, along with an accompanying TV special.

"Reggie Watts is a most unusual talent: a huge vocal range, a natural musicality, and a sidesplitting wit. Is he a comedian? A singer? A performance artist? I've seen him a few times since then and I still can't decide. Whatever, he ain't like nobody else." - Brian Eno

As a musician, Reggie recently recorded the EP Pot Cookies through Normative Records, sang on Regina Spektor's "Dance Anthem of the 80s" and contributed two tracks to DFA Records' Spaghetti Circus. Also the frontman for Seattle rock outfit Maktub, Reggie and his band recently released their fifth album, Five. He also composed and recorded the theme songs to Louis CK's FX show Louie and Kurt Braunholer and Kristen Schaal's BBC show Penelope Princess of Pets.

"Sharp, wry and elusive... Reggie moves seamlessly from skits to songs to off-kilter stand-up, while talking in a subway train full of accents." – New York Times

Reggie also creates absurd comedic theatricals for modern performance spaces in collaboration with playwright Tommy Smith. Their stage shows Transition, Disinformation, Radio Play, Dutch A/V and Occurrence have played around the country at The Public Theater, On The Boards (Seattle), The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's Time Based Art Festival, Seattle Rep, MCA (Chicago), The Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), Ars Nova and others; they've also won numerous awards including the 2008 & 2009 MAP Fund and 2008 Creative Capital award.

The world only needs, and perhaps can only handle one Reggie Watts at a time. But thank God we've got the one. - The Bureau Chiefs
