Run Riot interviews Scoteee.


I've nicked the intro from Run Riot because I tried to introduce this post by describing Scottee, but I can't do it. After Antisocial club nights when I first moved to London and various mad un-cabaret nights (including the amazing Eat Your Heart Out last year), I've become quite fond of this loveable weirdo... so read on:


Scottee is a performer. He has performed at some of the worlds most prestigious galleries and theatres including: Tate Britain & Modern; ICA; Whitechapel; Royal Festival Hall; Royal Opera House and the Roundhouse. As well as gracing the pages of Dazed & Confused, Independant, i-D, W and Sunday Times Style, he was also included in i-D magazine's 200 portraits by Nick Knight, won title of TimeOut Performer of 2010 and grabbed the covers of both TimeOut & Independent on Sunday in 2011. He has broken limbs, been questioned by Police and lost 100's of pairs of high heels in his determination to please and challenge his auidence. His brash, clumsy and obnoxious approach to performance has left them confused, annoyed and amused. Whatever you think of Scottee - he probably won't care.
