Reggie Watts Son

(That boy good!)

Reginald Lucien Frank Roger Watts was born in Germany circa 1972 – that’s what all the biographical information I found said – but spent most of young adult life in Great Falls, Montana.  After graduating high school, Reggie briefly attended the Art Institute of Seattle in Washington, and then went on to study jazz at the Cornish College of Arts.  Watts is described as a “multidisciplinary comedic performer”, and according to Wiki’s Pedia: “His shows are mostly improvised and consist of stream of consciousness stand-up in various shifting personas, mixed with loop pedal-based acappella compositions.”  I would describe Watt’s comedic style as cerebral, but he also finds a way to represent a good mix between high and low brow humor.  His unique act has been featured in numerous comedy festivals and music events – such as The Montreal Comedy Festival, Bonnaroo, South by Southwest, and New York’s Under the Radar Festival.  You will be able to check out Reggie soon on his new Comedy Central special “Why Shit So Crazy?”, and to promote the show (which coincides with the subsequent release his new DVD/CD of the same name) he recently made a video for one of his most popular songs, “Fuck Shit Stack”:

Obviously the lyrics are explicit, but they are also educational – Have you ever heard another rap song mention gerund phrases or parentheticals before?:
