Louis Theroux spotted in Aberdeen bar after Music Hall gig
Pictures have emerged of the award-winning filmmaker enjoying a drink at The Grill following his masterclass held yesterday evening.
The images show him and guests smiling into the camera.
The journalist and documentary-maker ordered a 25-year-old Glenfarclas and was mingling with punters at the Union Street pub.
The visit followed Louis Theroux's event held at the Aberdeen Music Hall – part of the Ultimate Masterclass Festival.
As part of the talk, he alongside interviewer Fiona Stalker, took 1,300 fans on a whistle-stop tour around his jaw-dropping telly career.
Our reviewer Ben Hendry was there at the event, where he described Theroux as a 'effortlessly entertaining raconteur.'
He added that the Music Hall show held the audience 'captivated' while occasionally throwing them into 'roaring laughter.'
He covered cancel culture, Jimmy Savile, the far right, as well as giving his opinion on the city of Aberdeen itself.
The Masterclass Festival will also bring comedian and actor James Corden to Aberdeen tonight.
The Grill is one of Aberdeen's most cherished pubs – being over 150 years old.
It is famed for its collection of whiskies old and new – and celebrated its 150th birthday in 2020 with its own signature whisky.
It made headlines back in the 1970s after a protest was held outside the bar after its infamous ban on women – the dispute helped bring the issue of sex discrimination into the public eye, before it was outlawed two years later in 1975.

Two of the most expensive private schools in the UK are in London
London has lots of excellent free-to-attend schools. But for some parents – particularly very wealthy ones – sending their kids to a good state school is not enough. A new ranking has revealed the 10 most expensive private schools in the UK for 2025/26, and two of them are in the capital. London is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in, so it's not surprising that the capital is home to two of the UK's highest costing private schools. In Britain the average fee for boarding students is between £9,000 to £15,000 for the whole year. However these elite schools represent even richer class of society. We're talking the children of plutocrats, oligarchs and royalty. The kind of students who take Ubers to class on particularly cold days, and don't get drunk in field like most young Brits, but spend their rebellious years partying in ultra swish hotel rooms. Westminster School was revealed as the third most pricey school in the UK. The central London college costs up to £21,992 per term – that's £65,976 for the whole year. Some of Westminster's famous alumni include Helena Bonham Carter, Louis Theroux and former leader of the Lib Dems Nick Clegg. Also making the top 10 was northwest London's Harrow School in sixth place, costing up £21,245 per term (£63,735 for the year). This very posh all boys' school is known for producing PMs (including Winston Churchill), and was also attended by Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Curtis and James Blunt. From January 2025 many fee-paying schools in Britain became even pricier after their exemption from paying VAT was officially scrapped. It's the first time independent schools have had to pay 20 percent VAT on fees. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said 'every single penny' from the new levy would go towards funding state schools. London's 17 best schools have been revealed by the Fairer Schools Index 2025.
