Monday 23rd January
Reggie Watts @ Roundhouse
Currently in the middle of a European tour, the NY-based entertainer Reggie Watts brings his very special vocal talents to the Roundhouse. Watts has the ability to channel a wide range of vocal characters, constantly shifting personas and alternating them with loop pedal-based acapella compositions. He covers everything from ancient history and racism to pop-culture, in a heady mix of improvised music, comedy and social insight. Traversing hip-hop, trip-hop, alternative, nu-metal and classical opera, Watts is one heck of an entertainer.
