About Reggie
( wikipedia | imdb )
Reggie's signature act seems to be a range of funny voices that he uses to sing funny lyrics over a background of loops which he lays over with some skillful beatboxing. Other comedians use music in their sets (Flight of the Conchords, Bill Bailey), but Reggie probably has a higher proportion of it in his shows than other comedians.
Reggie Watts is said to have been born on Thursday 23 March 1972, which would make him 52 years and 6 days old (if this date is accurate and he is alive today).

Reggie was highly recommended to me by a friend who often has similar tastes. Reggie's specialty is to sing humorous lyrics, with a range of funny voices, over a background of loops that he lays by skillful beat boxing. There is no doubt that Reggie is extremely talented, but unlike my friend I wasn't blown away by those performances. For one, I couldn't agree with him that they were unique—having seen a number of acts using looping over the years. Bill Bailey, whom my friend didn't know, certainly comes to mind. For me, in a sense, Bill is the original Reggie Watts, although Bill's sets (such as the wonderful
Part Troll) have lots in them besides "funny music". And that's another thing that dampened my enthusiasm about the extremely talented, immensely likeable Reggie Watts: for me, too much of the show was "the same". Sad to say, but I kept falling asleep, and it wasn't sleep deprivation as I was later able to sit through a moderately funny episode of the Australian comedy series
Rake. During Reggie's video I smiled a lot, I was impressed, but I dozed off too many times and just didn't laugh.
So while I respect Reggie's talent and find him immensely likeable, I won't be seeking out more of his work. On the other hand, your tastes might be more aligned with my friend's, so I encourage you to check him out.
