The Worst of Scottee Q&A for Run Riot
I did a quick Q&A with Scottee about his solo show, The Worst of Scottee, for Run Riot. I reviewed the show in Edinburgh last year (read the review here) and thought it was extremely interesting.
In the Q&A, he says he doesn’t want to do a show that’s him wanking into a mirror. Fair enough, really. Here’s the first question:
Ben Walters: So, Scottee – why the move into theatrical solo-show territory?
Scottee: There was this pressure from some people to make a solo show so people [who don’t see my other shows] know what I’m about. I knew I didn’t want to make a happy-clappy show so I thought, ‘Why don’t I make a show about how shit I am?’ I don’t have a lot of friends from childhood. I’ve burned a lot of bridges. I thought, ‘That’s interesting. Let’s explore how much of a dick I’ve been.’ It proved to be quite easy to find people [to contribute].
The Worst of Scottee is on at the Roundhouse from today until February 15. More info here.
