Bennett hails from Yorkshire and is recognised not only for his stylish shirts, but for delivering a wry brand of observational humour. It effectively amounts to a commentary on the absurd nature of modern living. His routines draw heavily on real-world occurrences and have become popular with audiences countrywide.
Having worked the stand-up comedy and festival circuit for nearly 10 years, Bennett is in high demand as a comic writer, writing for numerous established acts, notably Jason Manford. He has also appeared on BBC Radio 4's “Elephant in the Room” and regularly features on BBC Radio 4’s “The News Quiz”. His accolades include “Comedy Cellar New Act of the Year 2011” and “Chortle One to Watch, 2018 and 2019”.
Funhouse Comedy has described Bennett’s performance as follows:
“This loveable rising star enthrals his audiences with his warm and engaging delivery, he is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic.”
The Evening Standard recently described Bennett as “live comedy’s best-kept secret”.
Tickets cost £16.50, with an age restriction of 14 and over. Poster printing can be a valuable resource when advertising a comedy event like this.
Scott Bennett's “Great Scott” gig has a starting time of 8pm on Friday, 13th May at The Riverfront, Newport.
