Ron AAlgar Watt is a Seattle-based comedy writer-performer. He is the co-host of the Post Atomic Horror podcast (the most comprehensive Star Trek podcast ever produced) and writes, directs and produces the comedy soap opera Contentment Corner.  He is also currently reviewing the 80s cartoon Jem, having previously produced similarly comedic reviews of Transformers and GI Joe.

He has been writing and performing with Portland-based writer/podcaster Maggie Rowbotham since 2007. In addition to the Post Atomic Horror and the Kids Love Batman podcast (which ran from 2020 to 2024 and reviewed the entirety of Bruce Timm's DC Animated Universe), Maggie and AAlgar have worked together on the Sarcastic Voyage family of podcasts (first as a chat/interview show; then as a series of comedy sketches, serials and radio plays). They also co-created Endeavor, a Star Trek fanfic series, which ran for three seasons, from 2019-2024.

In 2018, they co-wrote and co-starred in the free comedic point-and-click adventure game The Adventures of Nick and Willikins, based on characters created for Sarcastic Voyage. The game was produced by Pinhead Games, and received positive reviews from Kotaku and PC Gamer, among others.

They performed their sketch comedy live to capacity crowds at the Emerald City Comicon in both 2015 and 2016.  They also regularly staged live events at the Pocket Theater in Seattle (including an anniversary episode of Sarcastic Voyage, which premiered on the Pocket's opening weekend) until that venue's unfortunate closure in late 2019.

In 2012, the pair created a short YouTube video poking fun at legendary comics creators Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore. Thanks in part to coverage by Comics Alliance, Topless Robot, Newsarama and other prominent “nerd news” sites, the video went viral, racking up over 10,000 hits in under a week.

They also co-produced a series of webcomics from 2007-2009 (one of them with Kevin “Flonk” Lynch), which they hope everyone has since forgotten about.

In 2023, AAl collaborated with longtime friend and creative partner Mark Darin (of Pinhead Games) to produce a remastered version of their hit 2004 point-and-click adventure game, Brain Hotel. 

AAl lives in Auburn, a suburb of Seattle with his partner, Amanda Smith, with whom he occasionally collaborates creatively (including the Death of Podcasts, which reviewed the entirety of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and the short-lived We're Trying).

In 2024, he began pursuing a career as a professional voiceover artist in earnest. More information about that can be found here, along with links to the ever-growing list of his audiobook credits.

He has gone by the name “AAlgar“ since 1991. This comic explains why the name is so important to him, and he has recently changed his legal name to Ron AAlgar Watt.
