Testimonials

“A stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictability to otherwise tightly written routines”

Chortle

“Great material, great delivery, a very funny man”

Rob Brydon

“Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch”

Chris Ramsey

“Scott went down a storm, he was brilliant! He joined us for the meal before his set and was great company”

Howells Legal

“What a superb evening being entertained by Scott Bennett, he made us all cry with laughter with his observational comedy. I could not have picked a better comedian for our event with a mixed age group of different life experiences he made everyone laugh. It was a joy to see all my staff, kicking back and relaxing in his company.

I would have no reservation in recommending him for any corporate event. Alongside being very funny. He was also very amenable and pleasant in the lead up to the event to ensure that all content covered in his set would be appropriate, which made me as the organiser feel very assured that I was also going to have a great night, very funny guy!”

Stone Soup Academy

“Scott was superb! He was diligent in his preparation and tailoring of content, a pleasure to deal with and very funny. The delivery of his set was excellent but what marked him out was his ability to control the crowd when he moved to reading the script for the awards presentation. This is an area where many more-experienced, more-expensive hosts have struggled over the years but Scott thrived by really engaging with the script and ad-libbing around it.”

Build it Awards

“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 done a storm. I cannot recommend him enough Our teams are still talking about what a memorable evening it was”

Sofology

“Scott Bennett is undeniably one of the finest comedians in the country – a master craftsman with a broad appeal shared only by a very rare few. Add to that the fact that he’s a consummate professional and a lovely bloke and it’s easy to understand why he is destined to become one of the biggest names in the industry”
