Fresh Bumbershoot

blog Reggie Watts: Man About Town!

Not only is Reggie Watts a stand-up comedian, musician, and performance artist, but he takes all these magical forms and blends them together into SUPER ENTERTAINMENT! If you haven’t seen him perform live then you’ve been missing out. But don’t worry: you’ll get to see the wonder that is Reggie Watts at this year’s Bumbershoot performing on BOTH the Comedy Stage North in the Intiman Theatre AND the Performing Arts Stage at the Bagley Wright Theatre.

Reggie Watts has always been a performance polymath. He started his career in elementary school where he wrote, directed, and starred in a play that was performed in front of his school. This first big achievement really foreshadowed the way he works to this day. Watts is never just acting, or just singing, he has got his hand in all the cookie jars. The talents that lie beneath that black cloud of hair are bound to surprise you. And the things this man can do with a loop pedal will definitely blow your mind.

Reggie Watts will be have you rolling in the aisles, tapping your toes, and thinking outside of the box before his set is over, so don’t miss him Bumbershoot Weekend. Once you’re addicted to his madness, be sure to see Reggie Watts in collaboration with Tommy Smith at On the Boards with their evening length group show Transition, October 15–17. More information go to On the Boards.
