The actor and funnyman – best known for his iconic role as Boabby the Barman in Still Game – is heading to Dumbarton next month for his show 'Look Who It Isnae – An Audience with Gavin Mitchell'. Gavin starred as the much-maligned landlord behind the bar of the legendary Clansman boozer in the iconic Scots sitcom for nine series. Now, his show will give fans the chance to sit down for the intimate show to hear about Gavin's more than 30-year-long career in showbiz. The show comes to Dumbarton's Denny Civic Theatre, in St Marys Way, on Friday, July 4, at 7.30pm. Speaking ahead of the upcoming appearance, Gavin said: 'I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share stories from my glorious career, whilst spilling the beans on all the behind-the-scenes gossip from Still Game. It's going to be an unforgettable experience for the fans, and for me as well!' The show title is a throwback to one of Gavin's memorable lines from Still Game, where he quips 'look it is isnae' to sharp-tongued pensioners Jack and Victor, only to be cut down as Jack says: 'Oh, that is fantastic patter, Bobby, who are we no today, ya p****?' Gavin also starred on TV comedies Velvet Soup and Happy Hollidays, as well as the comedy-drama film Being Human, with Robin Williams. Away from comedy, Gavin has taken on more serious roles, appearing in TV dramas such as Monarch of the Glen and The Field of Blood. Gavin received the 'Best Actor' award at the Scottish Comedy Awards 2019 for his Still Game role along the way. In December last year, punters at one Lanarkshire pub did a double take when they spotted Gavin pulling pints behind ther bar ahead of a gig as he chatted away and snapped selfies with excited fans. Gavin thrilled locals with a surprise appearance at The Weavers, in Strathaven, ahead of his new stand-up show. The new tour give fans the chance to get up close and personal, as Gavin takes them on a journey through his illustrious 30 plus year career in entertainment. With behind-the-scenes stories and insight from years of working in theatre, film, TV and radio, this is a chance for fans to engage with a beloved figure in Scottish entertainment. There are even a limited number of VIP meet and greet tickets available, giving a handful of fans the opportunity to meet Gavin in-person before the show.
