Who Reggie Watts is
Reggie Watts is an American comedian and musician whose improvised shows blend comedy, beatboxing and music. Once the frontman of the Seattle rock band Maktub, he won the Andy Kaufman Award in 2006, released his debut comedy album and DVD, Why $#!+ So Crazy?, on Comedy Central Records in 2010, and that year was picked by Conan O'Brien to open his North American tour and named SPIN's Best New Comedian.
His Comedy Central special Reggie Watts: A Live at Central Park premiered in May 2012, and he has played festivals from SXSW, Bonnaroo and Bumbershoot to the Montreal and Vancouver comedy festivals and London's Soho Theatre. His streaming special Never Mind premiered on Veeps, and in November 2025 he headlined Just For Laughs Sydney at the Sydney Opera House.
