A jack-of-all-trades, Scott has been everything from an English teacher to a stock room clerk to an open mic host to a mixologist. He currently spends his time playing live music in Newcastle, watching cartoons and annoying everyone about The Wire. It was a brilliant show, by the way. You should go watch it.
