Paul Riley, best recognised as Winston from BBC and Netflix’s award-winning sitcom Still Game, is bringing his brand-new stand-up show, Too Smart To Be Nice, to 9inety6ix on Friday 2nd October.

With a career in acting, writing and performing spanning over 35 years, Paul most famously graced TV screens in the popular series, Still Game. For over nine series he appeared as Winston, a role for which he received a BAFTA Scotland award in 2006. He also regularly featured in the comedy series Chewin’ the Fat, and wrote, directed and starred in Dear Green Place, where he picked up his second BAFTA under the “Best Entertainment” category.

This production comes off the back of two hugely successful stand-up tours, which saw Paul perform to sold-out audiences across the UK and even as far as New York, USA. This latest show will feature new material taking aiming at the absurdity of modern life, from misgendered fish, to the strange overlap between hating, dating and replicating.

Ahead of his show, Paul said “My last couple of tours have been really well received, so I’m looking forward to this new show, it’s going to be great fun! I’ll be talking about how salmon are the happiest of all fish, right through to the long-forgotten art of making a proper complaint. It’s going to be interesting, informative, and very, very funny. I’m looking forward seeing folks there!”
