Former journalist Scott Agnew was named Scottish Comedian of 2008, after first making the finals the previous year. A regular compere, he has performed solo shows in Glasgow festivals in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Aside from his own stand-up, Agnew sometimes performs a Chic Murray tribute act. |
Scott Agnew: Pride (In The Name of Love) |

Irving Welsh couldn’t have written a bleaker final act to Scott Agnew’s Edinburgh show – but at least the Trainspotting author would have added a mordant wit that’s sadly lacking in what is, after all, billed as a comedy offering. The depressing tale, involving a destructively intense relationship with a heroin addict, is clearly a difficult one for the former Scottish Comedian Of The Year to tell – but he's in need of a writer or director to bring something other than darkness to the cathartic experience. It’s a downbeat end to an hour of storytelling that never really took off. Agnew, a 6ft 5in Glaswegian, is a striking physical presence, appeared to lack confidence in his own material, even though the subjects he drew upon promised much. The most successful yarns involved his time as a seedy tabloid reporter, gatecrashing funerals and doing the ‘death knocks’ at the homes of grieving relatives. But the humour comes from the situations, not necessarily his telling of them, which tend to be burdened with avoidable detail… do we really need to know the downstairs layout of one home he visited? Another yarn about him shagging a Terence Trent D’Arby lookalike in a Gorbals tower block has a genuinely funny payoff, although again the build-up is a little convoluted. Even given the open goal of meeting a fetishist on Gaydar whose had to dress and act like a dog, Agnew shoots wide, not fully drawing out the ridiculousness of the extreme situation. A straightforward observational routine about gag hags preventing nightclub pick-ups is similarly promising, but deteriorates into a series of jibes about fat lasses, that were largely predictable and sometimes unpleasant – suggesting, for example, that someone is too ugly to rape. Agnew, a solid act in shorter doses, clearly has fascinating episodes to draw upon, but he’s not doing them – or himself – any favours with this lacklustre display.

Mr. Scott Agnew at Eden Court Theatre Inverness,he was MC for the evening, completely at ease with his audience from the start. Good banter back and forth with them. Inverness crowd thoroughly enjoyed his style of comedy, and above all, he made the punters laugh. Which is the main criteria. A true comedian. Star act of that night. Douglas Thomson, December 2009 |
Saw Scott at Jongleurs, absolutely brilliant. He came out with two of the best gags I've ever heard live. Dunno if the missus would appreciate him tho, fairly edgy stuff. But one of the best, most energetic and full-on comics I've seen for ages. Powerful stuff. Big Stu, August 2008 |
Scott was a good funny pally camp compere at a Glasgow comedy fest gig. The first act got booed-off he was so horrible, but Scott bounded back on stage and quickly re-built a happy atmosphere. Good. Worth seeing. N.O'S., March 2008 |
