Denise Scott's Biography
Denise
first started working as a professional actor and comedian nearly thirty years
ago, but it has been in the last decade or so that Scotty has gone supernova –
winning awards, selling out theatres, appearing on high-rating TV shows and
writing two popular memoirs.
To
wit: in 2009 Denise penned All That Happened at Number 26, a book which became
a national best seller and a hit tour, with sell-out seasons at the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Opera House. Number 26 was also
produced as a DVD for the Warehouse Comedy Festival series.
Scotty’s
subsequent solo show, Regrets, was awarded the Melbourne International Comedy
Festival Directors’ Choice Award, with Scotty winning a Helpmann Award for Best
Comedy Performer. She then made her debut (finally!) at the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, and released her second book The Tour.
Fittingly,
2013 was all about touring for Denise, hitting the stage with her dear friend
Judith Lucy in The Spiral. Their stand-up-slash-book-tour debuted at the
Princess Theatre during MICF and went on to sell well over 30,000 tickets
across Australia.
Scotty
has been and remains a favourite guest on many of Australia's favourite TV
shows, including Spicks and Specks, The Project, and Talkin'
‘bout Your Generation, in addition to starring as Trish Gross on Channel 7’s
high-rating drama Winners & Losers.
In
2014 Denise returned to the stage once more with a new, BARRY AWARD-WINNING
solo show, Mother Bare, at the Adelaide Fringe, the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, the Sydney Opera House and the Brisbane
Powerhouse. And in 2015, Mother Bare returned to MICF for a limited run at the
Comedy Theatre and the prestigious Hamer Hall. Denise also guested in Please
Like Me, Jack Irish and House Husbands.
