Scott Baker
Known as “The Quickest Thinker In Comedy ”Scott is a seasoned performer, storyteller, and speaker, known for his quick wit and dynamic approach to communication. Over the past decade, he has captivated audiences with his personal journey, from overcoming adversity in his childhood to becoming a decorated New York Police Officer, to his success as a comedy writer and performer.
Twice voted Long Islands Best Comedian by the Long Island Press, Scott is also the creator of the hit TV sitcom Midtown, available on Amazon Prime. He has authored three books based on his experiences as a police officer, offering valuable insights into resilience, leadership, and personal growth.
Scott’s early life was marked by hardship—losing his brother at a young age, then at the age of 10 experiencing the death of his father. As a result, emotionally supporting a mother and brother battling depression. Through it all, he found strength in humor, using comedy to help his family heal. His natural ability to connect with others through laughter would become the foundation for his future career in comedy and public speaking.
A passionate advocate for mental health and resilience, Scott teaches individuals of all ages how to incorporate improvisational thinking into their daily lives. Whether in schools, universities, or corporate settings, he helps people develop critical 21st-century skills such as communication, problem-solving, and creative thinking. His workshops and presentations, delivered in partnership with fellow comedian Vinnie Mark, are designed to inspire, educate, and empower.
Scott’s unique approach blends real-world stories, business acumen, and practical life lessons to foster self-confidence and promote a positive, determined attitude—skills that are essential for success in both personal and professional spheres.
