Hilarious, brilliant, unpredictable comedian/musician Reggie Watts is a staple of the international performance scene. Watts's improvised musical sets are created on-the-spot using only his formidable voice and a looping machine. No two songs are ever the same. An avowed "disinformationist," Watts loves to disorientate his audiences in the most entertaining way. You may not know what Watts is going to do, but that's okay, he doesn't either.
As a solo performer, Watts was handpicked by Conan O'Brien to open nightly on Conan's entire North American Prohibted From Being Funny on Television tour. Watts was featured as "Hot Comedian" in Rolling Stone's Hot Issue 2010, named SPIN Magazine's "Best New Comedian" and "Best of CMJ" 2010, and a featured profile in GQ's Man Of The Year issue 2010. Watts released his debut comedy cd/dvd Why $#!+ So Crazy? on Comedy Central Records in May 2010. He has a new album entitled Reggie Watts Live at Third Man Records which will be available limited edition vinyl Spring 2011.
On screen, Watts has appeared on The Conan O'Brien Show, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, HBO's The Yes Men Save The World, Comedy Central's Michael and Michael Have Issues, Iceland TV, UK's Funny Or Die, and PBS' revamped Electric Company. Watts can also be seen in short comedic interstitials during Comedy Central's late night block and has a pilot for the channel in the works.
As a musician, Watts recorded the EP Pot Cookies through Normative Records, sang on Regina Spektor's Dance Anthem of the 80's and contributed two tracks to DFA Records' Spaghetti Circus. Also the frontman for Seattle rock outfit "Maktub", Watts and his band released five albums. Watts recorded original music featured on Louis CK's show on FX and performed the theme song for Kristin Schaal's Penelope Princess of Pets show.
He has played sold-out solo 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. Watts recently received the ARGUS ANGEL AWARD 2010 In Recognition Of Artistic Excellence at the Brighton Festival.
In New York, Watts regularly performs at The Box, UCB, Comix, the Bellhouse, Slipper Room, Caroline's, Union Hall and Moonwork. Watts also received the ECNY Award (2009) and Andy Kaufmann Award (2006) for his brand of innovative stand-up performance.
