In this ode to improvisation, musician and comedian Reggie Watts beatboxes, raps, loops his own rhythms and reflects upon the everyday power of turning the mundane into magic. After all, he says, we’re all just making it up as we go along. (Recorded at TED2024 on April 18, 2024)

I was fortunate to see Reggie and Robert Clasper perform together over a decade ago, and I still reflect on that show quite often. Thank you for this. Great Monday morning vibes.

Genius-level performance skills aside (though let’s still give props), I love that he gave a simple but powerful life perspective: everybody essentially improvs all the time, and creating is what life is all about. Outside of just astounding everyone with his skills, I appreciate that he is letting us know to wield creativity and agency without fear.
