Review: Reggie Watts “A Live At Central Park”

Reggie Watts Alive At Central Park Reggie Watts is a difficult act to pin down. Not because the comedian/musician/possible Fraggle isn’t talented, in fact he’s one of the most talented people I’ve witnessed in the last few years.

What’s difficult about Reggie is trying to explain him to an unfamiliar friend. Is he a comedian? Is he a musician? Is he from this planet? The answer lies somewhere in the middle of all of the above.

Watts is an entertainer who uses everything in his arsenal to put a smile on the faces of everyone present. Armed with a distinct look (think of an afro’d member of Parliament Funkadelic who didn’t get the memo, nor cares that Three Wolf Moon shirts and suspenders weren’t cool) and effects pedals. Watts beatboxes, loops, squaks and jams on bits, characters and escalating improved tangents. Read the rest of this entry

Video: Eugene Mirman’s Hampshire College Commencement Speech

Eugene Mirman Commencement Speech When it comes to commencement speeches, my money is on Eugene Mirman. He’s been delivering them for years – high school or college, doesn’t matter. Mirman has never been be less than highly witty, inspiring, and funny. Which is what all speeches should be.

A few days ago, Mirman delivered a commencement speech at the 2012 graduating class at his Alma Mater, Hampshire College.

Chazz Palminteri on Comedy, Chris Rock, and Richard Pryor

One of the perks of doing Comedy Matters TV is getting to see movies before they hit the theatre. That’s still as much fun to me as when I go into The Comic Strip and make my own drink with the soda gun at the bar. I never get tired of doing that!

I’ve been a fan of Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri for many years, or at least since I saw A Bronx Tale, which came out as a film in 1993. It had actually been a stage play before where Chazz acted out all 18 parts by himself. Read the rest of this entry

Watch Andy Samberg Make A Speech At Harvard

Andy Samberg was the guest speaker at Harvard’s Class Day. Class Day is not the formal graduation for the college, as it appears to just be a time for some good speeches.

Without giving away much of Samberg’s speech, he seems to have appeared under false pretense thinking he was the recipient of an honorary degree. This led to a few barbs at the dean between a few impressions by his most famous Saturday Night Live characters Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Wahlberg, and Nicholas Cage.

The speech is about 20 minutes long, but there are shittier ways to spend the 20 minutes.
