Frequently Asked Questions
For reasons nobody can explain, Seattle produces a disproportionate number of excellent solo performers. Two of them—Mike Daisey and Reggie Watts—will address Town Hall this evening, answering rarely articulated FAQs: Why am I here? What's the point? What's wrong with me? Reggie Watts is a beat-boxing marvel whose extemporaneous comedy sounds like an anthropologist from Alpha Centauri delivering a standup routine in Reno. Storyteller Mike Daisey rides two rails—tragic comedy and patriotic outrage—that identify him as a direct descendant of Mark Twain. Do not miss this performance. (Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave, 800-838-3006. 8 pm, $15–$18.)
Maybe it is because Seattle produces a disproportionate number of control freaks that don't like to collaborate with others?
Pass.
Uh, gee Bub. Mike certainly didn't seem like a control freak last night, when he sat in on the rehearsal for the show he's written that I'm directing.
Not to mention that Watts is a member of a damn fine band.
