BIG Thanks to Casey Capshaw for this -he described Reggie Watts as taking "postmodern comedy, like 5 levels up." The beatbox stuff is pretty damn cool, too. This is from last summer.Musicians@Google: Reggie Watts
AtGoogleTalks | Jun 1, 2010
If you don't already know who Reggie Watts is, he won't take offense, but after seeing him once, you'll never forget him. Hand-picked by Conan O'Brian as the opening act for his nationwide comedy tour, Reggie is a tour de force of cutting edge entertainment. He is part musician, part comedian, part tech geek, and 100% unlike anything you've ever seen or heard before.
A master at beat-box and looping, he is probably best known for his music, however his unique style blends familiar elements with novel sounds and allows Reggie to explore unknown territory. His comedy, on the other hand, is a bit harder to explain... let's just say he's a comedian's comedian... trust me, you're gonna love 'em.
He reminds me a bit of Steven Wright back in the 1980s when he's appear on Letterman and the audience would be silent in incomprehension. Good stuff - requires functional brain cells - very intellectual humor, very erudite humor.
