Enlightened, loose and totally beyond mainstream entertainment, comedy and musical hero Reggie Watts just exploded into your browser with a total ignition of natural charm and charisma: Trippy, yes, the comedian, musician, beatboxer, wizard within Watts' repetoir meander between the model of all three, previously enjoying moderate success with a past album launch on the Hip Hop, Rap sphere, now gaining popularity through his eclectic humour and compelling video beatbox demo’s Watts could easily be the zaniest and existentially suggestive comedian this side of Bill Hicks' demise 17 years ago, (I know).
Watts displays a lightspeed wit and a relentless ability to entertainwith with unrestrained ability, jumping from heavy nuyorican accent to middle class pronunciation : putting philosophical spins on old jokes and sporadically sliding into delicate soul vocals over a wonky hip hop acapella beatbox, using simply a loopstation and a mic.
His music alone is talent enough without his underplayed stand up routine and seemingly impulsive musical dabblings. A truly wonderful personality backed with a genuinely free and enlightened mind a whopping great afro that could sway the charm of the hardest musical comedy critic.
