On Wednesday, the day we arrived in Sydney, we had bought tickets to see Reggie Watts at the Opera House with Kelvin and Yan Shih. Kelvin and Kane went to high school together and we stayed with them once upon a time when we first arrived in this land. We saw Reggie on Good News Week (Australian show previously mentioned many times) - see video below for a sample since it's hard to describe what exactly he does. When we first saw him on tv, we looked him up and found that he was playing in one of the smaller theaters in the opera house on the first day we were there!
His show was very strange. His main show included music sort of like beat boxing but often with piano also; he had an amazing voice and made really interesting little songs. I found the whole show to be hilarious and awesome but definitely very odd. His whole routine was a mix of a type of stand up comedy yet-to-be-invented and performing neat digital-style songs like in the video. The comedy was really just him talking, often in changing accents, completely nonsensically. He talks like he's giving a lecture on something important, using big words, etc, but he's just rambling about nothing. And occasionally he throws in an awesome phrase like, "kangaroos are one of the few animals that look like they should be wearing hats", which cracked me the heck up. Overall, I rated it very highly and would recommend him to anyone who likes weird stuff.

Wow! That video was awesome and clever. Pretty catchy little song and he IS a very good singer. I bet he puts on a really fun show. Lucky you. I wonder if he ever travels to our end of the world. We would definitely go see him, too. Well, glad you are having fun on your adventures. Travel safely. WUD!
