Reggie Watts will return to Blue Note Jazz Club for a
special late night club show on Friday, January 9 at 12:30am (Friday
night/Saturday morning). This marks Watts' first official NYC show since being
named bandleader of the new CBS "Late Late Show with James Corden"
last month. The internationally renowned vocalist/ beatboxer/ musician/
comedian/ improvisor made his Blue Note Jazz Club debut in November 2014, with
a sold-out late night performance. He also headlined the 2014 Blue Note Jazz
Festival last June with a show at The Town Hall.
Reggie Watts, internationally renowned vocalist/ beatboxer/
musician/ comedian/ improvisor, amazes audiences with his unpredictable
performances, which are created on-the-spot using only his formidable voice and
looping pedals. Blending and blurring the lines between comedy and music with
his unique lyrical style, LA Weekly calls Reggie "the most wildly
inventive new talent of the past five years."
As a solo performer, Reggie was handpicked by Conan O'Brien
to open nightly on Conan's sold out North American "Prohibited From Being
Funny on Television" tour. Reggie was crowned "Hot Comedian" by
Rolling Stone, named SPIN Magazine's "Best New Comedian" and
"Best of CMJ" 2010, and a featured profile in GQ's Man Of The Year
issue 2010. Reggie released his debut comedy cd/dvd 'Why $#!+ So Crazy?' on
Comedy Central Records in May 2010. He also released 'Reggie Watts Live at
Third Man Records' in limited edition vinyl on Jack White's Third Man Records
label. Reggie's most recent release 'A Live at Central Park' is currently
available on CD/DVD through Comedy Central Records and on iTunes.
As a musician, Reggie was invited to join LCD Soundsystem as
guest onstage at the final NY shows Spring 2011. He also sang on Regina
Spektor's "Dance Anthem of the 80s" and contributed two tracks to DFA
Records' Spaghetti Circus. As the frontman for Seattle rock outfit Maktub,
Reggie and his band released five albums. Reggie recorded original music
featured on FX's Louie and performed the theme song for Kristin Schaal's
Penelope Princess of Pets. In the Spring of 2011 he recorded an original
session for the hugely popular Daytrotter series.
On screen, Reggie has appeared on Conan, Late Night With
Jimmy Fallon, HBO's The Yes Men Save The World, Comedy Central's Michael and
Michael Have Issues, Iceland TV, UK's Funny Or Die, PBS' Electric Company, and
currently stars as house band leader on the IFC original series Comedy Bang
