Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips was thrilled catch up with Reggie Watts ahead of his November tour of Australia and New Zealand. We talk music influences, collaborations, what not to expect on his upcoming tour and Reggie gives us a rig rundown on his current gear set up.
Reggie Watts, the American comedian, musician, beatboxer, actor, and creator who defies categorization is coming back to Australia and new Zealand in November 2025. Known for his surreal, improvisational sets—powered entirely by live looping, vocal experimentation, keyboards, and comedic misdirection—he’s captivated audiences worldwide.
Watts is also known for his high-profile roles such as bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden (2015–2023) and his comedic contributions on Comedy Bang! Bang! Wikipedia
He’s collaborated musically with Australian act Flight Facilities on the indie dance hits “Sunshine” and “Stranded”, both of which were warmly received on Australian airwaves.
Each Reggie Watts Live show is an opportunity to witness spontaneity. His live performances are never rehearsed—no two shows are the same, as he improvises on the fly, merging music, humour, and sound art into a singular experience.
Australia and NZ Tour dates:
• Auckland 5 November – Sky City Theatre
• Sydney 10 November – Sydney Opera House
• Brisbane 12 November – The Tivoli
• Melbourne 13 November – Recital Centre
• Perth 17 November – Astor Theatre
