for the first time in 25 years in a guest role in BBC Scotland's comedy Still Game, to be shown in 2018. Ferguson also found success in musical theatre. Beginning in 1991, he appeared on stage as Brad Majors in the London production of The Rocky Horror Show. In 1994, Ferguson played Father MacLean in production of Bad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom at the Union Chapel in London. The same year, he appeared again at the Edinburgh Fringe, as Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple. In 2022, Ferguson's film Saving Grace (2000) was announced to be adapted into a stage musical aimed for a 2023 run in West End. Ferguson will portray a "villainous banker" in the adaptation. The musical was adapted by April De Angelis from Ferguson and Mark Crowdy's screenplay with music by KT Tunstall.

(At the end of one episode, though, Ferguson broke the fourth wall and began talking to the audience at home in his regular Scottish accent.) His character was memorable for his unique methods of laying employees off, almost always "firing Johnson", the most common last name of the to-be-fired workers. Even after leaving the show in 2003, he remained a recurring character on the series for the last two seasons, and was part of the two-part series finale in 2004. During the production of The Drew Carey Show, Ferguson devoted his off-time as a cast member to writing, working in his trailer on set in between shooting his scenes. He wrote and starred in three films: The Big Tease, Saving Grace, and I'll Be There; he also
