Scott Bennett Brings His STUFF to the Lemon Tree in March 2026

A sharp, reflective comedy about clutter, connection and the difficulty of letting things go.

In STUFF, Scott Bennett dives into the mess—literal and emotional—of modern life.

Scott Bennett’s new tour STUFF arrives at The Lemon Tree on Friday 27 March 2026, bringing with it a question that feels increasingly familiar: what happens when the things we own start to take over? Known for his sharp stand-up and steady rise through the comedy scene, he’s now turning his attention to the pressures and clutter of modern life.

STUFF explores our relationship with the objects we surround ourselves with. What does it say about us, and what happens when we try to let it go? It’s a subject Bennett tackles with humour and a touch of weariness. The result is thoughtful, but still funny.

From sheds to theatres

If you watched Stand-up from the Shed during lockdown, you’ll know Bennett thrives in unexpected settings. What began as a weekly livestream from his back garden quickly grew into something much bigger, earning national media attention and a loyal following.

That same scrappy energy still runs through his work. While he’s now appeared on Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance and BBC Radio 4, his delivery hasn’t changed much. He still has that easy warmth, more like a pal telling stories than someone doing a polished act.

What STUFF is really asking

Bennett isn’t trying to lecture. Instead, he’s picking at a familiar problem. We live surrounded by belongings, while being told to live more simply. STUFF asks whether it’s still possible to live lightly, or if that ship has sailed. There’s no big answer, but there’s plenty of laughter along the way.

He balances those reflections with grounded, observational comedy that avoids easy targets. There’s a lightness to how he handles heavy themes, which might explain his slow but steady rise.

A comic voice with staying power

Bennett has been working at this since 2009, building a solid reputation as a comic and a writer. He’s written for others, including Rob Brydon and Jason Manford, and developed material for TV and radio. But his own shows are where he really finds his voice.

For Aberdeen audiences, STUFF brings something worth paying attention to. It’s not only about what’s piling up in our cupboards. It’s about how we live, what we prioritise, and how we make space for what matters.

Catch him live at The Lemon Tree on Friday 27 March 2026. Tickets are live now through Aberdeen Performing Arts online or at the box office. If you’ve ever found yourself drowning in things and wondering why it’s so hard to let go, this one might hit home.
