56 – Scott Edgar

scottedgarlogo500

Yes, he is the nerdy one with the glasses and the guitar from Tripod, but Scott “Scod” Edgar is also a politically-conscious clever-clogs who just so happens to be directing my upcoming show about Australia and refugees, Boundless Plains To Share.

I’m a huge fan of Scod’s – Tripod were a huge inspiration for me getting into comedy in the first place – so working with him has been an absolute privilege. Here we talk about the history of Trades Hall (our venue and rehearsal space), how Scod’s education shaped his worldview, the politics of the live music scene and what motivated him to explore this debate by working on this show.
