17: Alan Cumming

Scottish superstar Alan Cumming completes this year of special conversations and gives us so much to look forward to, in a joyful chat recorded remotely in Scotland as he settles into his new role as Creative Director at the Pitlochery Festival Theatre.

A virtuoso of performance arts yet a leading light behind the scenes too, Alan's international and extraordinary career spa30ns 5 decades as an actor, director, producer, writer and presenter.

Recently named as host of the 2026 Bafta Film Awards, alongside championing a platform for queer art in rural Scotland, it seems that Bafta, Tony and Oliver award-winner Alan Cumming, is as comfortable out in the hills as he is on the red carpet.

We're so happy to have him nearby! We can't wait for queer extravaganza Out in the Hills in late January and you can check out the programme and how to book tickets here.
