Award-winning comedian Scott Gibson returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year for the debut of his brand new full length show.
Like Father Like Son is an honest and frank insight into the men who have influenced and impacted Scott’s 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 take a closer look at the men in his family, and to ask if there really is any truth in the old saying “Like father, like son”.
A candidly intimate second show full of dark truths, personal reflection and, of course, laughter.
In recent years Scott has successfully established himself as one of the best Scottish Comedians of his generation, a title that was cemented when he received the Lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe. He is also known as Resident MC for BBC Introduces in Scotland, and has supported some of the biggest names in comedy on their national tours including Des Clarke, Daniel Sloss and Frankie Boyle, who describes Scott as a “natural, gifted, and unapologetic storyteller”.
Scott and comedian Richard Gadd made history at the 2016 Edinburgh Comedy Awards when they became the first Scottish winners to scoop both of the main prizes – Best Newcomer and Best Show – in the same year.
