We are beyond excited to be bringing another titan of Scottish comedy to Erskine Arts!

Known and loved by millions as the iconic Winston Ingram from the BBC and Netflix sitcom Still Game, Paul brings his unmistakable sharpness and charm back to the stage in a blisteringly funny new tour.

A double BAFTA award-winner, Paul now takes aim at the absurdity of modern life - from misgendered fish, to the long-forgotten art of making a proper complaint, to the strange overlap between hating, dating and replicating. And yes, even the unsettling dark side of Herbie the Love Bug makes an appearance.

With razor-sharp timing and a brain wired for mischief, Too Smart to Be Nice is Paul Riley at his most dangerously entertaining.
