About this listen

 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 Artistic Director at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

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

Recently named as host of the 2026 EE 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 also get to hear about his new project, starring in Russell T Davies upcoming series Tip Toe!

We’re so happy to have you nearby Alan, we need you! We can’t wait for the queer extravaganza Out in the Hills weekend in late January. Book now if you want tickets - Graham Norton, Juano Diaz, Jackie Kay, Ian McKellen, Mhairi Black, The Hebridean Baker, Jo Clifford, Armistead Maupin, Kim Blythe, Zander Murray, Val McDermid, Ashley Douglas, Louise Welsh, Finlay Wilson, and more awesome folk, are all headed to Pitlochry for events you don’t want to miss - check out the programme and how to book tickets here.
