Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
"Live comedy's best kept secret." - Evening Standard
"Brilliantly funny, a joy to watch." - Chris
"Bennett is 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
"Clearly has a big future, flashes of Peter Kay, Jason Manford and John Bishop.” - Bruce, Amused Moose Finals Review
"Scott delivered a set at the start of this year’s well-being conference for all our employees. This could have been a tricky gig as it was early in the morning and to a very diverse audience who, for most, had returned from annual leave that day. None of this phased Scott in our planning session beforehand, and on the day he was superb! Scott has a real talent for taking his audience to the edge of their comfort zone but without taking it too far – and it was a joy to see all our colleagues roaring with laughter. Quite simply, Scott was hilarious! His humour was relatable, responsive and inclusive – a perfect blend! On the day, and for some time after, colleagues have been commenting on how much they enjoyed his set, and have even asked for him to return next year! I couldn’t recommend him more highly for other corporate events – thank you, Scott!” - James, CEO, TLET
"Scott was fantastic on the night of a recent restaurant launch event for Zizzi. He got the tone spot on and the whole room was engaged, included and in hysterics. A much needed, light-hearted evening of fun and laughter thanks to Scott’s hilarious stand-up. We would recommend Scott for corporate events." - Lisa, Director, Espresso
"Scott came to our corporate event to perform a set and funny is an understatement. We spoke to Scott in advance about who we were, the key people and what we wanted. As a corporate event there can be a fine line and Scott did an amazing job at going to the line but not going over it. As the organiser I was delighted to look in the audience and see my colleagues roaring with laughter. I would hire Scott in an instance for other events, my colleagues and I are now big fans!” - Danielle, Senior Internal Communications and Operations Coordinator, H and T Group
"I've used some of the genuine comments we’ve had, there were a lot more “Best Xmas Do Ever” “I still can’t believe how good last night was…” “perfectly pitched, just what we all needed” these are a few of the comments from staff on our first ever virtual NHS England Finance Xmas Get Together. We all dreaded it as virtual get togethers can become tedious at best. Scott, live from his shed, ensured we all had a few hours which we’ll talk about for the rest of our lives. 2020 has been rubbish, our Xmas Do wasn’t. Thanks again, you’ll probably see some of us in 2021.” - Richard, Accountant, NHS England
"Scott was recommended to us to perform at our 40th anniversary and new product launch event. From the minute Scott took to the stage he had the room in the palm of his hand, performing a mixture of traditional stand up and bespoke material tailored to the night. His observational skills and interaction with our clients were fantastic. He was better than we could’ve expected and we would highly recommend Scott to any other business hosting a similar corporate evening.” - Anthony, Bauder PLC
