About the Event:

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. Join Old Town and Chicago Humanities for an evening filled with laughter, starting with a wide-ranging conversation with the innovative comedian about how his distinct comedy style and career are deeply rooted in his hometown, followed by a performance that showcases why Reggie Watts is the beloved oddball we all adore.

A book signing will follow this program.
