SeriesScott Agnew: Dead Man Talking

2. Life Before Death

Stand-Up Specials

Available for over a year

We all live before we die, but Scott lived a little harder and faster than most. In this episode he explores his life before he died. From his time as a journalist to coming out, his "Friday afternoon" feeling, chem sex parties and a HIV diagnosis that brought with it an unexpected feeling of gratitude. The second episode in a trilogy of tales that gets into the gritty and grim goings on that nearly saw Scott pushing up the daisies. Each episode is far from a forlorn fable, but rather is bursting with colourful, lively stories of the people who have shaped Scott's life and helped him along the way. This is more than just a life story, this is Scott's death story. A stand up series, written and performed by Scott Agnew Produced by Lauren Mackay Audio recorded by Chris Currie and Niall Young
