Watts has always enjoyed experimenting with his comedy—whether it's incorporating music, looped sound, or improvisation into a bit—so performing in a 3D comedy club seems like a natural fit.
The event will take place on AltspaceVR, a platform that (much like Second Life) allows users to make an avatar and then explore the world around them.
Watts will perform as his avatar in a virtual comedy club, and fans will be able to walk into the venue and grab front-row seats. Whether or not a live comedy experience translates to the headset format is still yet to be determined.
Earlier this week, AltspaceVR dropped a trailer for the event, debuting Watts' avatar:
Tonight's performance begins at 11:00pm ET.
