The Traitors US host Alan Cumming is returning to the UK with his solo-performed show, Alan Cumming Is Not Activing His Age, in January 2024.
Produced by AEG and Fourth Wall Live, Cumming is set to perform at three well-known venues in London, Manchester and Glasgow.
On the premise for the show, he said in a statement: "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'.

"I feel I'm still at an age where I can dance till dawn but also be able to dole out some wisdom to my fellow revellers! Wisdom is just being able to recognise the repeating patterns that emerge as you get older, and maybe deciding to react to them differently. It's just the same show with different costumes."
What to Read Next
The show's synopsis teases an eclectic mix of topics in the show: "In Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, he covers all the bases: sex, death and bacchanalia (drunken celebrations), with a set list as eclectic as the man himself.
"Songs from Cabaret authors Kander and Ebb blend with contemporary favourites and even a self-penned paean (hymn of praise) against plastic surgery. He also discusses the effects of gravity, the time the mum from the Brady Bunch asked him to punch her, and what his dog taught him about the quality of life."

He will perform at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, January 15 - 16, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, January 18 and SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, January 20. Further tour information and tickets are available on Ticketmaster's website.
His previous stage credits include Hamlet (West End, London), Cabaret (Broadway, US) and he has performed in seasons with the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh and Dundee Rep, to name a few.
The Traitors became a globally reality TV hit with the show appearing in the UK, Australia and the US, which Cumming helmed. The star has also appeared in movies such as X2: X Men 2 and GoldenEye, TV shows like The Good Wife and Schmigadoon! and has penned several books.
The Traitors series 1 and the US version are available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
