Scott Edgar can do it all! He is a comedian, musician, composer, illustrator, writer and is perhaps best known as one-third of beloved iconic Australian comedy band Tripod, with whom he’s won an ARIA and lost a GRAMMY.
He’s also a veteran writer, composer and illustrator for video games, animation and kids’ publishing, working for clients such as Ubisoft, Wizards of the Coast, Penguin Random House, the Cartoon Network and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Tripod have been regulars on the international live comedy and cabaret circuit, regulars on radio and television and also have done songwriting for musicals for the screen and stage. In the twenty-plus years since they first appeared on the Melbourne live pub scene, the “boys” have delighted audiences from comedy clubs to symphonic concert halls and everything in between. They have also created numerous narrative musicals for the stage, as well as for children’s cartoons and global videogame properties, picking up multiple awards and, through their constant work on television and radio becoming a much-loved household name along the way.
We chat about his Grammy nomination, the highs and lows of a creative career, Tripod and taking a break, creativity and collaboration, his other wonderful creative careers, Skithouse, conflict, the Australian art industry and change of view of success.
