Scott Bennett brings his acclaimed stand-up show 'Blood Sugar Baby', the funny true story of how his daughter fell ill with the rare genetic condition congenital hyperinsulinism.
Scott Bennett brings his stand-up show Blood Sugar Baby to Monkey Barrel Comedy on Sunday 15 November, with the show starting at 8pm. It's a funny true story about his daughter falling ill with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), a rare genetic condition, and the way he and his partner Jemma fought to get the right diagnosis. From there, they were plunged into months of bewildering treatment, sleepless nights, celebrity encounters and bizarre side effects. It's a story of family resilience told through a comic lens.
If you don't know Bennett, there's a lot more to him than the stand-up. He's a singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who tours and records with Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, singing and playing keys, vibes, guitar and percussion. He won a Grammy for his work on the Smile album, played bass on Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin, and sang and played drums, bass, guitar and keyboards on Liz Phair's Whitechocolatespaceegg. He's as much a part of the music world as he is of the comedy circuit.
