Reggie Watts is far from your traditional stand-up comedian, with an act - and a head of hair - that defies audience expectations. Opening for Conan O'Brien's recent Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour, Watts has become known for his freeform approach. His thought-provoking material ranges from the history of Google and the internet to absurd monologues performed in any number of accents and voices. Throw in freestyle musical numbers created using only his voice and a little machine called a loop pedal, and you've got a performance to remember!
