Reviewing a 2008 performance at Brandeis University, Sarah Bayer wrote, "Skinny, quirky George Watsky was next, with the night's most innovative piece. Watsky, a sophomore at Emerson College and a member of the grand prize-winning team from San Francisco at the National Youth Poetry Slam in 2006, adjusted the microphone to different parts of his body, imitated the sound of rewinding tape and recited binary code (a trope that caught the eye of headliner Saul Williams) in an altogether amusing performance."

In 2006, in the midst of "a lively performance" to a "sold-out crowd", Watsky "likened politicians behavior to a common bar pick-up line" and "won the night s top score".

In 2006, Watsky was described as the "Bay Area's reigning teen champion" as the winner of "nearly a dozen slams" and "was on the team that took fourth place in the national contest" in 2005.
