About this show
Scott Gibson (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner, Scottish Variety Award Winner, Chortle Nominee), Glasgow’s critically-acclaimed and award-winning son, is touring once again with a brand new hour of darkly comedic storytelling.
Delivered in his trademark, breathlessly inimitable style, Gibson guides you through the turbulent world of Love, sex and relationships. Expect deep, dark and meaningful dives into what it means to be in love, to feel loved and dating women in their 40’s. Covering everything from life in ‘The New World’ to the deep and confusing bond between women and their hair.
Gibson truly is one of the finest storytelling comedians in the country and this new offering is not to be missed. When it comes to the subject of Love, sometimes only a ‘Sledgehammer’ can crack through to the good stuff.
Onwards!

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.

“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
