SCOTTISH actor Alan Cumming has announced a special one-man show with a date in Glasgow.
The Scottish star is coming to the SEC Armadillo on Saturday, January 20, 2024, as part of his tour Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age.
The award-winning showman will take to the stage in a unique performance, where he will "cover all the bases, sex, death and bacchanalia, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself".
He said: "I’m constantly told, even now in my sixth decade, that I am child-like or puckish, and yet at the same time I’m also called a silver fox and a daddy.
"I think we all get really mixed messages about ageing.
"We’re told to worship at the fountain of youth, to do everything we can to our bodies and our minds to stay young, yet then we bandy around pejoratives like 'grow up' or 'act your age', even that we’re 'mutton dressed as lamb'."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
