Still Game proves there is Scottish comedy

To call Sir Billy Connolly out for an error of judgement is like suggesting the goddess Athena wasn't very good at sums. But when it comes to claiming there is no such thing as Scottish comedy, our greatest living comedian, if not our greatest living entertainer, hasn't called it right. The evidence? There is lots of it but let's start here: this weekend sees the opening of Still Game at the SSE Hydro, a comedy experience which has attracted almost half of all Scottish television audiences at one point and is set to fill another 15 nights at the country's biggest arena.
