a couple videos from the archives now on Funny or Die

Over the weekend we’ve been digging through the archives and found a couple better quality copies of sketch videos from Nashville comedians that were previously posted on MangyDog.com and YouTube at lower resolution. We’ve uploaded the cleaner versions to Funny Or Die for your enjoyment:

Reggie Watts Live at Third Man Records 12/2

from ThirdManRecords.com:
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a one Mr. Reggie Watts come Thursday, December 2nd at Third Man Live for our first full night of comedy in our live venue. Reggie is off the “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour” with the venerable Conan O’Brien, and just this past spring released his comedy performance CD/DVD “Why $#!+ So Crazy?” on Comedy Central Records.

Reggie is coming into town for one night and one night only to bring an evening of wild and unpredictable comedic performance, brilliant social commentary, and other assorted improvised behavior. Oh yes, and did we mention Reggie also possesses what can only be described as the finest and most magnificent mass of raven locks ever to adorn the stage?!

Reggie Watts at Third Man Live will be recorded directly to analog reel to reel tape in our live venue and be available for purchase to all those in attendance. Only patrons of the event will have the opportunity to purchase a very limited edition Black and Blue split color vinyl of the show. Get your ticket stamped at the door, then hop around to the shop to pre-order your LIVE record of the show you just saw for a cool $20.

You can pick up your event tickets starting Monday, November 29th at the Third Man Records shop. Tickets $5.

Reggie Watts. Third Man. ‘Nuff said.
