Alan Cumming at the Barbican

Join multi-award-winning actor and Sunday Times bestselling author Alan Cumming, as he celebrates the publication of his new book, Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life.

Live in conversation with Graham Norton, Alan will take you on a startlingly honest, poignant, and joyous roller-coaster of a ride as he shares stories from his extraordinary life. From a troubled childhood on a remote Scottish estate to his early days as a Blue Jeans photo-story model, from becoming a Tony and Olivier award-winning theatre actor to making back-to-back films with Stanley Kubrick and the Spice Girls; from Golden Globe, and Emmy Award nominated television actor, to social justice activist and LGBTQI+ advocate.

Joyous, honest, and wise, this event promises to celebrate the messiness of life with Alan’s signature storytelling and humour.

‘I have so many great memories of my decade living in London, and also of working with the RSC at the Barbican, where I once played Silvius in As You Like It wearing M&S pants and flowers in my hair!‘
