Iain Scott Singer Comedian
Iain Scott
Singer / Impersonator / Comedian Extraordinaire
Live at O’Brien’s, Barry
Review by Barry Boy
We don’t usually stay out late on busy nights of the week. However, last Friday night we were talking to friends in O’Brien’s bar and eight p.m. came around before we realised it. I looked up when someone started to use the P.A. system. It was a thirty-something young man with curly hair at the microphone, dressed in black.
I forget the name of his first number, which was accompanied with overtly gay movements and gestures. Some laughed and some did not. I was uncertain what was going on. I had never heard of the man, and in fact, had not even noticed that there was to be an act.
Iain Scott – Comedian and Entertainer
All I knew was that I had never seen anything like it before. I looked around and could see that most people were enjoying it. When Iain started the second song, it was obvious that he was an accomplished singer with a great voice and that the ‘gaiety’ had been part of the act.
He had confused me, because his ‘gayness’ had seemed real but borderline piss-take without being offensive or anti-gay in any way.
Iain sang a variety of songs in different styles each with its own appropriate mannerisms and attitude. The results varied from hilarious to spot-on realistic. For example, Iain looks nothing like Mick Jagger, but when he took him off, he had him down to a ‘T’ both in voice and mannerisms.
It was uncanny. Iain Scott is as good an impersonator as he is a singer.
Well, we asked the man sitting next to us what time the gig would go on until. He said that there were usually two sets between eight and ten. So, we cheerfully arranged to stay that long.
O’Brien’s Barry
However, when we left O’Brien’s Barry at ten past ten, Iain was still doing his stuff. People were still loving it too! I would go to see Iain Scott again any time, and I have no hesitation in recommending that you give him a chance too.
LuckiIy, have managed to find Ian’s UK telephone number. So if you would like to find out where he is currently on tour, or if you would like to offer him a spot at your bar or party, give him a ring.
