About this show
The winner of the 2016 Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer is back with an honest and frank insight into the men who have influenced and impacted his life. The good, the bad and the indifferent. An unexpected reunion with his father, along with the death of his grandfather in late 2014 forced Scott to look at the men in his family, and to ask the question: is there truth in the old saying, 'like father, like son'? Expect deep honesty, dark truths, personal reflection and laughter. "A natural, gifted storyteller" - Frankie Boyle "Irvine Welsh meets Billy Connolly" - The Evening Standard "As natural a storyteller as you could hope to encounter" - Chortle Venue: Victoria Halls, Sinclair Street, Helensburgh, G84 8TU 01436 673 275

Scott is a very good comedian, I’m sure he would prefer a stadium full of people but that small intimate gig in Oban will be remembered for sure! Proud member of #fatlivesmatter

Scott Gibson Biography
The Big, Bald, Bearded Glaswegian. A naturally skilful and riveting raconteur, Scott Gibson mixes a conversational style with his own unique brand of dark humour, gloriously bad language and shrewd observations.
He regularly vents his incredulous anger speaking harsh truths that lead his audience down a path few dare to tread; the best lines, ostensibly the ones that cut closest to the bone.
Working any room he plays like a champion Gibson's amazing ability to sneak powerful themes and experiences into what might appear to be a traditionally bawdy set, full of toilet humour and political incorrectness, has allowed him to move up the ranks quicker than many before him.
His brush with mortality galvanised him into becoming a stand-up and inspired the show Life After Death, which won the then 32-year-old the Edinburgh Comedy Best Newcomer Award at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe. Making him the first Scottish Comic in history to do so.
“Absolutely compelling, he mops the floor with the fashionable over promoted kids” - Chortle
“Gibson has a real savour for the comedy of life’s unglamorous underside” - The Guardian
"Irvine Welsh meets Billy Connolly" - The Evening Standard
“Riotously funny and at times painfully raw” - The Herald
"A natural gifted storyteller" - Frankie Boyle
