Tonight's your chance to see funnyman Reggie Watt perform a Town Hall. You've probably never seen a show quite like it because even he doesn't know what will happen on stage. That's because he is also a musician who creates on-the-spot songs using only his voice and looping pedals. Come watch him blend the lines between comedy and music tonight starting at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $42-$57.
