And I mean, all about me me me the abuse me me bullying in school me me would you do me I’d do me me me. Can I borrow your cell? Have to go live on IGTV. Now. Oh and I’ve got more me stories to tell. Thank me.
”Hi me. It’s me. Me me me me me me me meow me meow meow me meow…”
Scott, reared in San Francisco, admires his home so much that he spreads Frisco love all over the UK. He wants Britain to be Great again. Or America to be Great Britain again. Either way, Scott requires a show on Amazon because his husband wants to live in Brazil.
Background check: In Scotland, a faerie namesake whaur English is ne’er spoken, Scott wrung his mother tongue and in 1994 miraculously won the Perrier Award with his magical solo show Risk Gay, an installation/performance happening chronicling the power of wind, when, climaxing in chiffon, Scott mimed a glittering chime.
Scott developed his signature eye twitch while chasing gay sheep around Montana, where male-on-male action is limited to animal pens. I know. HAWT! The result, The Truth About Gay Animals, has been an internationally televised hit even in Israel, consequently resulting in death threats.
Scott has written for several newspapers including The Guardian, The Times and the Scotsman; and for various magazines like The Index on Censorship, which isn’t half as stuffy as it sounds. Kidding. It actually is. The Christmas party deleted the word ‘Christmas’ on the vegan invite. Fake tree, ‘natch. The office toilets are unisex. I.e., NO rape jokes.
His book, Fowl Play, a comedy novel about murder and date rape, received good reviews (mostly) so it is out of print. Currently, he’s working on a second novel about the making of a Broadway musical, entitled Runt. And there’s a third novel, Loaded, based on his play about his correspondence with killer Erik Menendez, which the English press called ‘sick and dangerous’.
Wait, it gets better: He spews forth on all sorts of British television programs, most of which air on Channel 5. Sorry Wales. OH wait, he was drunk during a Fox TV show taping in the States, with a hostess that looked like a deer. His stand up CD, some of which is included on this site, was released in the UK to enormous fanfare and very limited sales. He did a play about gays. Currently he’s hosting a live chat show in London, letting his famous friends do the heavy lifting, to quote Bruce Dessau. Yes, he’s dropping that name. It’s come to this.
If he’s not reading aloud the Koran to acquire a seat on the bus, or mocking the New Testament at hipster dinner parties because gays with Jesus beards are self hating, Scott is touring, and being asked to tone it down in places like Manchester. Manchester for fuck sake, where clearly he’s not the problem. Still he perseveres, pocketing shekels out of a craving for attention and protein.
Obviously Scott is too busy to date. Plus, he’s married. Yeah, the naked yoga party is, boo hoo, over.
Catch him nightly on Instagram because he’s got nothing else.
ACTUAL BIO FACTS, which are meant to impress, but when read aloud have the opposite effect:
Scott is a veteran of our TV screens. A diverse performer (read: difficult), Scott’s talents were also incorporated into various films, when he was young and film worthy.
