Reggie Watts is a multifaceted performer best known for his comedy collaborations and improvisational music sets. After spending several years as the front man for Seattle-based rock group Maktub, Watts began his career as a solo performer in the early 2000s. He’s since recorded a number of comedy albums, appeared on the IFC series Comedy Bang! Bang!, opened for Conan O'Brien during the comedian’s 2010 stand-up tour, and released the solo EP Pot Cookies —and he’s currently the bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Watts is an original artist who has produced work that’s as offbeat as it is intriguing, so it came as no surprise that his top Criterion picks followed suit.
