Lidl is partnering with comedy legend Gary: Tank Commander for a comedy roadshow at its Anniesland store.
The free event Checkout Comedy is dubbed as a world-first listening experience.
Shoppers can enjoy an in-store audio performance from the nation’s favourite Scots squaddie this summer.
Gary, known for his trademark tan, will swap the barracks for the store aisles, presenting a humorous monologue as part of his shopping mission for the Checkout Comedy series.
Glasgow shoppers can get a taste of the unique event from August 10 to 13 between 10am to 8pm each day.
Scottish actor and writer Greg McHugh, famed for his Bafta award-winning BBC1 sitcom, will reprise his role as Gary McLintoch for the exclusive shows.
