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.
Presented by Fane in association with Canongate
All £41 tickets include a copy of Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life by Alan Coming (RRP £18.99).
