Denise Scott, a revered figure in the Australian entertainment scene, has found a delightful niche in her role as the narrator for the hit show Travel Guides. Since its inception in 2017, her voice has become synonymous with the adventures and misadventures that the show's cast experiences across the globe.
A Beloved Role
With over four decades in the entertainment industry, Scott has carved out a successful career as a comedian, actress, and writer. However, she openly declares that narrating Travel Guides is her absolute favorite job. “What an awesome show! I love that job. Oh my god, it’s my favorite and the longest I’ve ever worked with one show,” she enthuses.
Unexpected Recognition
Despite her fame, Scott often finds herself going about her daily life without much attention—until she speaks. Her distinct voice instantly grabs attention, often leading to enthusiastic fans recognizing her. “No one will have recognised me, and then I’ll talk to someone in a shop or whatever, and they go, ‘Oh my God, you’re the Travel Guides lady!’” she shares.
A Fun-Filled Experience
Scott has certainly seen a wealth of entertaining moments during her time on the show, sharing lighthearted insights into the cast's dynamic. “Travel Guides, they’re like naughty school kids or something,” she laughs. “So pissed and having the best time, and loving it!” It's no surprise that they have clinched five consecutive awards at the Logies.
Comical Misidentifications
Interestingly, Scott often faces amusing cases of mistaken identity. During a recent holiday, she encountered a family that included three generations. The grandfather mustered the courage to approach her, mistaking her for fellow comedian Judith Lucy. Their confusion led to a humorous exchange: “I’m not Judith, but I’m her friend… I do comedy,” she explained. When they finally established her identity, he called out to his family, “It’s Denise Scott!” only for them to respond, “Oh, yeah! Denise Scott! Denise Scott!”
However, Scott maintained a light-hearted spirit even when the grandfather mistakenly assumed she was a part of another show entirely. “I haven’t ever done Getaway, and nor for that matter has Judith Lucy, but that’s beside the point. I do Travel Guides,” she clarified. The misunderstanding continued, but she gracefully accepted their admiration with a smile.
Future Performances
In addition to her work on Travel Guides, Denise Scott remains active in the comedic scene. She is touring her stand-up comedy show, Tickety Boo, throughout 2027, which will include performances at the renowned Sydney Comedy Festival. Tickets are currently available for those eager to see her in action on stage.
Denise Scott continues to be a cherished figure in the world of entertainment, and her infectious enthusiasm for her role in Travel Guides resonates with fans across Australia. Whether they're recognizing her voice or enjoying her comedy, it’s clear that her influence will endure for years to come.
