As well as Stand Up, Scott has also dabbled in Improv Comedy (www.comedysportzhouston.com) and Sketch Comedy, including some forrays into Video Sketch as a director. Scott has worked all over the United States, plus overseas entertaining our troops in Korea, Japan and Guam. He has worked with some of the best (and worst) comics in the business and keeps on coming back for more.
Scott still runs with the wind to get to his dream! Being a road comic full-time, he knows the hardship of the road and pushes himself more towards his dreams. The admiration Scott demonstrates is complete professionalism and respect in his business with the compassion for others. The combination of talent, determination and hard work, makes this particular comic one to follow his career to the top.

In between stand up comedy performances John has performed Improv comedy on the main stage of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, sketch comedy with the Second City Conservatory Company, and founded Attack Attack Ensemble, which produced the critically acclaimed sketch comedy-musical Sex AKA Wieners and Boobs for the Joe Cazelet Theatre in Montreal and the Two Person Comedy Story show “We Call This Comedy” for the Montreal Fringe Festival in 2009 which was called “Solid and Hilarious” by the Montreal Hour and was named as an official selection of the 2009 Montreal Fringe Festival. Many people call John’s performance “Awesome” and by many people we mean John’s mom. Opening
