Fans of a big laugh night out in Aberdeen are in for a treat this month as SCOTT BENNETT, one of the country’s fastest rising talents, brings his latest hit tour, STUFF, to the city.
As a society we love stuff, it’s a statement about who we are and who we want to be. But apparently, this message is at odds with the looming environmental crisis. We’re now struggling to balance these worlds, to focus on the things that bring us real connections and nourish the soul. Award-winning Comedian and Award-winning Product Designer, Scott Bennett is desperately trying to cleanse his life of stuff, but is this even possible anymore?
Tour support for Mickey Flanagan, Rob Brydon, Jason Manford, and John Bishop. The star of Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Ultimate Choice and Chortle Best Club Comedian Nominee 2022.
