At the end of 2020, in the Comics Comic awards Scott was voted “Best Act” a prestigious award decided by comedians and promoters in the industry. Previous winners include, Mick Ferry, Zoe Lyons and Ian Stone.

This year he has supported Jason Manford and John Bishop on tour and in 2017 and 18 Scott supported Rob Brydon on his National UK tour dates for his latest show I am Standing Up.
