Alan’s Cumming back

When the world came crashing to an abrupt halt and lockdowns popped most of us in our boxes for a long while, one of the (many) unexpected side effects appears to have been that time was broken. And so it is that I wind up on the phone with great Scottish chaos agent and delightfully multi-hyphenate over-achiever Alan Cumming, talking about his tell-all cabaret show Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age for the second (?!) time. Not that I can tell you when the first chat was. After being rudely interrupted two shows into a previous run at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival some year or another, the show he’s about to tour around Australia is no longer exactly the same.
