Bio:
Paul Riley – actor, writer, and comedian – has enjoyed an extraordinary career in entertainment spanning over 35 years, earning two BAFTA Scotland Awards along the way.
Best known for his iconic role as Winston in the acclaimed series Still Game, Paul was also a regular on Chewin’ the Fat and wrote, directed, and starred in the much-loved Dear Green Place.
About The Show:
Following two hugely successful tours in 2024 and 2025, Paul Riley is back with his brand-new stand-up show, Too Smart To Be Nice.
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.
