After starting comedy in late 2009, Scott has rapidly 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. In demand by many of the big clubs, Scott delivers wry observations on the absurdity of modern living. His sharply written routines have been delighting audiences across the country. In 2013 and 2015 he was selected to perform in the prestigious Big Value showcase show for Just the Tonic at the Edinburgh fringe, the show has previously been a springboard to success for many household names including Jason Manford and Sarah Millican.

As well as receiving rave reviews, Scott was selected to perform an extract from the show as part of the famous Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe Showcase. The show also received a Best New Show nomination at the Buxton Fringe Festival.

His second show Leap Year was nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2019 and completed a sell out run to critical acclaim at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

A versatile and confident performer Scott regularly appears at many established clubs and was also thrilled to recently be 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.

In 2017 and 2018 Scott supported his comedy hero, Rob Brydon on his National UK tour dates for his latest show I am Standing Up.
