It used to be easy, walking into a bar on the prowl with his mates. The flirting game, being on the pull, sowing one’s wild oats. In his early twenties it was a game Scott Bradley knew how to play well. Then life got in the way. Now, 15 years, three relationships, and two children later, Scott is ready to head back out there to have a play at that single game once again.

Meet the Barman, always smiling, eager to please. He has no past, no future, perpetually in the present, waiting to serve. But behind that barman mask, things have gone very wrong, and he has just twenty two pills to tell his story. This is a story of love, laughter, loss, sex, anger and hopelessness, each served up in a shot glass waiting for you to sling it back down your throat ready for the next. The story of the Barman, told from then and now, is a cocktail of confusion and a mirage of misleading mistakes. So pull up a pew and get comfy. Now what y‘avin?

From carols that make no sense, to the baffling origins of tinsel, he’s got opinions, facts, and a hangover to back them up.
