Still Game Live is back!
A new show will be staged at the Hydro in February 2017
With their return to our TV screens just days away Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill have announced the return of the live Still Game show.
The first theatrical adaptation of the sitcom sold out the SSE Hydro for a record 21 day run in the autumn of 2014 and was seen by over 210,000 fans.
Still Game: Live 2 will run from Saturday 4th – Saturday 11th February 2017 with tickets going on sale from 10am on Friday 7th October.
The first show saw phenomenal demand for tickets with the venue’s website crashing for a full day and online ticketing sites unable to cope.
Still Game follows the antics of pensioners Jack (Ford Kiernan) and Victor (Greg Hemphill) as they live out their latter years in Osprey Heights, a tower block in the fictional Craiglang area of Glasgow.
Both now widowed, the men have been friends since childhood and despite their frequent bickering have an obvious bond.requent bickering have an
Jack and Victor reminisce of years past whilst contemplating the state of today’s society, sharing their bittersweet observations of life alongside their neighbours, friends and other local characters.
The butt of many a joke is good friend Winston Ingram (Paul Riley). Eternally immature and always on the lookout for an easy buck, Winston is frequently barred by Boabby the barman (Gavin Mitchell) from their local boozer, The Clansman.
Another estate regular is fellow neighbour Tam Mullen (Mark Cox), for whom things always seem to come good, much to the frustration of Jack and Victor.
Keeping an eye on them all is Osprey Heights gossip queen, Isa Drennan (Jane McCarry).
She also works as a cleaner in the local corner shop run by the king of one-liners, Navid Harrid (Sanjeev Kohli), the long suffering husband to soap-opera loving wife, Meena.
