I'm in love...
It's true it happens from time to time. I find a comedian or performer that I go GA GA over and it has occurred once again. In April a friend took me to the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn to see his friend and comic do a short set. I'm usually the wrong person to take to comedy shows if you are trying to impress me. I'm a harsh critic when it comes to funny talent. Not that I honestly have any right to be but the few years in the industry has made me quite picky. So naturally I was mildly impressed with this particular performer, however a couple sets after his the tide took a drastic turn. The sea parted and in a haze with REO Speedwagon's "Dreamweaver" playing in the background Reggie Watts took the stage. The man left me speechless in the same gut-wrenching way Mitch Hedberg and old school Bill Cosby once did. He defies standard forms of stand-up and simply put, just gets on stage and creates some mind-blowing shit. This man is on to something that comedy hasn't seen in a looonnnggg time. Enjoy the video but don't try it at home...it's way messier than you would think.
