Watts' extensive list of impressive credits include bandleader on the former late-night hit, The Late Late Show with James Corden. He recently released his new book “Great Falls, MT: Fast Time, Post-Punk Weirdos and a Tale of Coming Home Again,” from Phoebe Robinson’s Tiny Reparations Books (Penguin Random House). The book centers around Watt’s story of growing up as a biracial oddball in Montana, struggling to navigate life, girls, and his own identity.​ Watts has had multiple specials on Netflix and Comedy Central. In 2016, his first Netflix special, Spatial, released to massive critical acclaim, with the New York Times calling it “a giddy rush of escapist nonsense” and dubbing Watts “the most influential absurdist in comedy today.” The A.V. Club described Spatial as “signature Watts, meaning it’s alternately exhilarating, silly ,exhausting, and transcendent,” and Exclaim! Magazine called his performance “engaging, absurd, thoughtful, and most importantly wholly unpredictable”​. The N​ew York Times has also called Watts, “The Tip of Comedy’s Absurdist Spear.”​ Watts is also known for starring opposite Scott Aukerman on the IFC series Comedy Bang! Bang! based on the podcast of the same name. He also hosted the American version of Taskmaster, a Comedy Central game show.

As a solo performer, Watts brand of musical/comedy fusion has led to sold out headlining tours in the U.S. and Europe, including festivals such as Bonnaroo, SXSW, Bumbershoot, Just For Laughs, Pemberton and more.
