Everything Is Improvisation — Including This TED Talk | Reggie Watts | TED

In this ode to improvisation, musician and comedian Reggie Watts beatboxes, raps, loops his own rhythms and reflects upon the everyday power of turning the mundane into magic. After all, he says, we're all just making it up as we go along. (Recorded at TED2024 on April 18, 2024)

Reggie is such a genius and the range of his vocal ability is off the charts. GREAT TED

[THX-vpfz]

What i also like at Reggie so much is his uniqueness, hes really one of a kind, not a copy of so many other comedians. Since years hes the only comedian i'm looking for new videos here. Hes cheering me up when i need it. Thanks Reggie! 🙂

I was fortunate to see Reggie and Robert Clasper perform together over a decade ago, and I still reflect on that show quite often. Thank you for this. Great Monday morning vibes.

Reggie gone back to his roots! I was wating for that!!

Genius-level performance skills aside (though let's still give props), I love that he gave a simple but powerful life perspective: everybody essentially improvs all the time, and creating is what life is all about. Outside of just astounding everyone with his skills, I appreciate that he is letting us know to wield creativity and agency without fear.
