#253: Scott Edgar - Raising Your Hand

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.




The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day
