On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, join Scottish acting legend Gregor Fisher for a hilarious, heartfelt evening of untold stories, belly laughs and behind-the-scenes secrets from Rab C. Nesbitt to Love Actually – one night only with the man himself!
Gregor Fisher
Scottish acting legend Gregor Fisher, instantly recognisable as Rab C. Nesbitt and Joe from Love Actually, is embarking on a rare UK tour of intimate live shows in 2026.
Joined on stage by his long-time friend and director Nigel West, the evenings promise a warm, unscripted night of memories, behind-the-scenes tales and plenty of laughter – far closer to a relaxed chat in the pub than a formal theatre performance.


A Career That Spans Decades and Genres
Over five decades, Fisher has moved effortlessly between comedy and drama, from the string-vested chaos of Rab C. Nesbitt to the dystopian chill of 1984, from George Orwell*, from Para Handy’s gentle Highland adventures to Al Pacino’s side in Michael Radford’s The Merchant of Venice.
His CV also includes standout roles in Naked Video, The Railway Children (2000), Love Actually (2003), Mr Bumble in Roman Polanski’s Oliver Twist (2007), and more recently the bittersweet family comedy The Cockfields (2019). Most recently he has wrapped filming on the second series of BBC One’s warmly received Only Child.
What to Expect on the Night
Audiences can look forward to candid reflections on the highs, lows and outright bizarre moments of a life in showbusiness. Fisher plans to cover everything from his own adoption to the realities of acting, from the creation of The Baldy Man to freezing nights on location in a string vest, and from Christmas-movie magic to the wigs that deserved their own dressing room.
The tone will be unmistakably Gregor: sharp, self-deprecating, warm and occasionally daft. There will be surprises, nostalgia, and plenty of stories that have never made it into interviews before.
A Genuine Peek Behind the Curtain
This is not a polished one-man play or a greatest-hits package. Instead, Fisher is offering something far rarer – an honest, funny and deeply human night in the company of one of Britain’s most enduring and best-loved performers.
If you’ve ever laughed (or cried) at his work over the past fifty years, this is the chance to spend an evening with the man himself, glass in hand, ready to share the tales he probably shouldn’t.
Tickets are on sale now. Bring a friend, bring a pint, and prepare for a proper Scottish night out.
