Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts is a comedian and musician known for his brilliantly irreverent improvised performances. Reggie recounts his weird and wonderful life in his latest book, Great Falls, MT: Fast Times, Post-Punk Weirdos, and a Tale of Coming Home Again. Navigating the challenges of identity, relationships and self-expression in the 1980s, Watts was raised within a culturally diverse family and oscillated between various social groups before finding solace among fellow misfits.
