What They Say "Chic Murray was kind of a genius... something tells me they might be saying something similar about Scott Agnew in the not too distant future." The List - October 2008 "Tough, funny, original, with the potential to make a nationwide impact" Attitude - July 2009 "one of the sharpest comperes around" The List Hot 100 - December 2008 "Chic Murray was kind of a genius... something tells me they might be saying something similar about Scott Agnew in the not too distant future." The List - October 2008 "head, shoulders, knees and toes above the rest... the massive (as in tall and soon to be very famous) Scott Agnew made up for last year's disappointment with this proud victory." The Scotsman - September 2008 "a bold, brash, barnstorming performance... hilariously graphic... a powerhouse set" Chortle - September 2008 "a comedy performance peppered
with killer gags delivered with deadly accuracy." Evening Times
March 2008 "He shares Billy Connolly's ability to spin an anecdote and draw out its humour. His tale of two tramps playing ‘shite volley’, especially, you can imagine coming from the Big Yin." Steve Bennett, Chortle - September 2007 "Stridently non-camp gay comic Scott Agnew will surely have his moment in the sun." Brian Donaldson, The Scotsman - September 2007 "Raw, bareback comedy at its' best" The Glaswegian - September 2005 "Fantastic!" Gaydarradio.com - March 2006 "Well dressed and indiscreet" Jay Richardson, The Herald - March 2007 "Weight loss and boyfriends have never been funnier" Scotsgay Magazine - March 2006 "Scott Agnew is the best comedy host around at the moment." Janey Godley - January 2006 "Mightily impressed with the big man's charm and stage presence, and highly rate him as one of the best comperes I've seen in Scotland of late. God might hate fags, but I reckon even he'd give him one!" Stu Who? - January 2007
Scott Agnew, the unabashed ‘big poof’, was an audience favourite even before he’d uttered word one. And when he did get going, he cemented that tide of goodwill with an enthusiastic performance sweeping away any pockets of audience reticence. Some of his material drew shrieks of outrage, and he just batted it away, taking any squeamish reaction in his sizeable stride. When it comes to comedy, he has got a one-track mind… it’s all about his sexuality and people’s reactions to it – especially in the sectarian quarters of Glasgow, which gives his content an extra edge. He’s no mincing queen, nor does he mince his words, making for a bold, brash, barnstorming performance in which he’ll describe in hilariously graphic detail the logistical challenges of a gay threesome rather bitch camply about some showbiz figure. Such a powerhouse set rightly earned him the Scottish Comedian Of 2008 title. Steve Bennett, Chortle - September 2008
