A comedian will be bringing his brand of ‘big room’ comedy to a venue in Cumbria.
Scott Bennett, who has been described by the Evening Standard as ‘live comedy’s best-kept secret’, and who has written for many acts like Chris Ramset and Jason Manford, will perform at the Old Fire Station in Carlisle on February 25 next year.
This show was originally going to happen earlier this year but was rescheduled.
His last two shows, Leap Year and Relax, were nominated for ‘best show’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
During the lockdown of 2020, Scott pioneered the viral hit, Stand up from the Shed, a weekly topical live-streamed stand-up show from his actual garden shed.
Speaking to the News and Star, Scott described his comedy as observational and big room: “It’s basically just pointing out the stuff everybody experiences.
“There’s so much going on in the world and in life, if you can find an angle on it to have a laugh that’s a good thing.
“It’s sort of all about family, stuff I relate to, because you write about what you know, the little moments that all happen but you never notice.”
