Montreal Comedy Festival: Reggie Watts at Amp'd

I hit the Amp'd Music Comedy show at midnight last night, at a trippy space called the Cabaret Justs pour Rire - blue lights, fog machine, disco balls, the works. The show was hosted by the incomparable Reggie Watts, whose glorious afro is its own one-man show. Remember Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movies, the guy who could make all those crazy whizzing and beeping sounds? Reggie Watts is what would happen if that guy took a bunch of acid while studying at Julliard. He beatboxes and mixes live, all while affecting six million accents, so nobody can make sense of who the fuck this guy is. It's amazing.

Last night, he performed, among other gems, what's probably his best known song, "Fuck Shit Stack." It's more poetic than it sounds.
