Alan Cumming has revealed that his new stage show Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age will be performed in London, Manchester and Glasgow this January. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 28 July. 

The new cabaret show will deconstruct the Olivier and Tony Award-winner’s roguish persona, seeing Cummings ‘cover all the bases, sex, death and bacchanalia, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself.’ Cumming said of the show, ‘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”.’
