Reggie Watts/Tommy Smith: Disinformation

“No man on Earth is like Reggie Watts. He is a tornado on a stage, hypnotizing his audiences with improvised music and absurd comedy.”  - Fusebox Festival

Reggie Watts's unique brand of performance is “original, off-the-wall and entertaining bliss” (The Sunday Telegraph). Watts blends improvised comedy and music as he explores subjects ranging from ancient history and mythology to technology and pop culture. Mixing hilarious monologues with beat boxing, rhymes, and a cappella compositions, his stream-of-consciousness style keeps the audience on their toes.

Disinformation, a collaboration with playwright and director Tommy Smith, comments on humanity’s refusal to accept the end of the world. Combining absurdist story telling, projected video imagery, and spontaneous musical compositions, it’s a feverish, comedic take on the human need to understand ourselves.
