You may be wondering who the man of mystery is gracing the cover of the 2009 brochure, featured in our television commercial and other Sydney Festival publicity over the summer. Let us introduce the wonderful Reggie Watts.
Sydney Festival 2009 TV ad - Long from Sydney Festival on Vimeo.
Reggie Watts' show mixes improvised music with social commentary on current affairs, political issues and anything else that captures his imagination. Reggie shakes new meaning into what you can do with a microphone and a loop machine. Exploiting a jaw-dropping ten-octave vocal range he creates funky bass lines and soulful diva-esque vocals to underpin hilarious, off-the cuff riffs on everything from ancient history and technology, science and racism, to theology and pop culture.
Broadway World described Reggie as "a tornado on a stage, hypnotizing his audiences with improvised music and absurd comedy" and Chortle called him "…totally original…Watts is, in the best sense, unpredictable and indescribable…'a sonic Salvador Dali'."
Reggie Watts is performing at the Bosco Theater as part of the Samsung Mobile Festival Garden.
