After starting comedy in late 2009, Scott very quickly established himself as one of the fastest rising stars on the UK circuit. Likeable, with a warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic.
His last two shows Leap Year and Relax were nominated for ‘Best Show’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival and has been named by Chortle as One To Watch.
In 2017 and 18 Scott supported his comedy hero, Rob Brydon on his National UK tour dates for his latest show I am Standing Up and was selected to do a support slot for Michael McIntyre as part of his work in progress shows at the Duchess Theatre in London alongside Keri Godliman, Russell Kane and Ed Gamble.
He has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, The Summer Festival with Daliso Chaponda, The Comedy Club with Arthur Smith, and Knock Knock with Helen Lederer. He also featured on the BBC One show, Live from The Edinburgh Fringe.
During the lockdown of 2020, Scott pioneered the viral hit, Stand up from the Shed, a weekly topical live streamed stand up show from his actual garden shed. The show achieved national coverage in the press, Sky News, BBC News and Five Live and has had over 150,000 views.
In addition to his stand up work Scott is also a talented writer. He was a programme associate on First and Last with Jason Manford for BBC One, a writer for The Chris Ramsey Show on Comedy Central. He’s written stand up for big touring acts including Jason Manford and Rob Brydon and has worked extensively for BBC Radio 4, with writing credits including The News Quiz, and Citizen of Nowhere with Daliso Chaponda. Later this year he can be heard on BBC Radio 4’s The Likely Dads and is one of the main writers on the new prime time BBC One Show, Little Mix – The Search hosted by Chris Ramsey.
As a filmmaker and writer of comedy shorts Scott has had his work officially selected for The Beeston Film Festival 2019 and the New York City Comedy Shorts Festival 2020.
Testimonial
‘Having seen Scott several times in my leisure time, I knew he'd be a great fit for our leadership conference. He did a set and presented our awards and genuinely exceeded all of our expectations!
The teams loved him. We had a very mixed demographic but everyone was literally guffawing throughout.
Scott delivered a great mix of some jokes that were really relevant to the company and the individuals in the room, loads of good improv, plus loads of brilliant Scott style, super original jokes.
The comedy was so relatable, he read the room brilliantly and honestly went down a storm. I cannot recommend him enough Our teams are still talking about what a memorable evening he made it.
Thanks so much. Scott.’
