Still Game 2: Bon Voyage

Still Game 2: Bon Voyage

The stage version of Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill's TV sitcom of ageing disgracefully, starring Ford Kiernan as Jack Jarvis and Greg Hemphill as Victor McDade.


The critical consensus

It’s a pleasure to report that Still Game Live 2: Bon Voyage is a big treat from the start.

****(*)Michael Cox, Across the Arts, 06/02/2017

It’s big, it’s bold but more than that it’s ambitious, with a set and a spirit reminiscent of the Busby Berkley musicals of the 1930s and 40s.

****(*)Steve Hendry, The Daily Record, 04/02/2017

By the end of a longish second half...I couldn’t wait for the characters to make their way back to Craiglang, the place that gives their comedy its satirical edge, and its dour post-romantic energy.

***(*)(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 04/02/2017

Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill return to the stage with an even more ambitious live show – and just as many laughs.

****(*)Mark Fisher, The Guardian, 05/02/2017

Still Game 2 Live: Bon Voyage is a titanic show that is gallus with a capita G.

****(*)Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide, 06/02/2017

The gags may be even older than Jack and Victor, but it is the infectious warmth of such familiarity that is part of Still Game's appeal, and no-one onstage is making any pretences that the show is anything other than throwaway fun, delivered here on the grandest of scales.

Fans of Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill’s TV creation will be on the crest of a wave.

Gail Cameron, The Scottish Sun, 04/02/2017

In the end the script is simply too flabby to justify the nearly three-hour running time, and though the raucous atmosphere in the auditorium at times more resembles a football match than your average theatre performance, this game is definitely one of two halves.

***(*)(*)Allan Radcliffe, 06/02/2017

Bigger, bolder and even better than their 2014 hit show.

Mark Brown, Scottish Stage, 22/02/2017
