Reggie Watts is one of a kind, very funny person with a quick, thoughtful and absurdist wit. He’s also a musical polymath with loop pedal skills that still amaze in our current era where there are many who do similar things. But there aren’t many who do both at the same time, making for standup sets that are perhaps easier to enjoy than to describe.
Watts’ new special, Never Mind, is a bit of a twist on what he usually does, as its framed as if it was happening in the ’90s, an age when we were still amazed by the internet and its promise of bringing us together, welcomed word processing tips from an animated paper clip, and were worried all computers would stop working when the clock hit midnight on January 1, 2000. The special also features Fred Armisen and a performance by Watts’ metal band, Spore.
Never Mind is now streaming on VEEPS and you can watch the trailer and an extended clip for the special below.
Reggie has a few festival appearances on his schedule and those dates are listed below.
