To celebrate the big release, Comedy Central will be airing Reggie's 'Why S#!+ So Crazy?' Special in its entirety tonight at 2:30 am EST/1:30 am CST, featuring live performance footage of Reggie filmed on stages around NYC along with original scripted comedy. It will also mark the television debut of Reggie's hit video for album single "F*ck Sh*t Stack" whose blend of parody and hip hop pastiche has already gone viral. A remix of unreleased album track "My History Thus Far" is available as free mp3 download and Electic Method made an exclusive video remix of DVD footage.

Reggie will also celebrate the release of 'Why S#!+ So Crazy?' with a not-to-be-missed, one night only Record Release Show at NYC's Le Poisson Rouge on July 1. The show is 18+ and advance tickets are available. On tour now with Conan O'Brien, Reggie has been blowing the minds of thousands of audience members nightly all across North America. Reggie's brilliantly funny and fresh sets built on beats, songs, accents and whatever comes to his amazing mind have been hailed as both a tour standout and a perfect fit for Coco's crowd. On a recent side trip to perform at this year's Brian Eno-curated Brighton Comedy Festival, Reggie received the 2010 Argus Angel Award in Recognition Of Artistic Excellence.
