Brian Cox announces one-man show to tour across the UK and Ireland

Brian Cox is embarking on his first solo tour

Award-winning actor Brian Cox is headlining his first ever one-man show, with a UK and Ireland tour.

The Succession star will embark on the It’s All About Me! Tour, which will see Cox tell stories from his life and career.

Act one will tell his story "from the backstreets of Dundee to the glittering lights of Hollywood", while act two will see producer Clive Tulloh join him onstage for a Q&A with the audience.

The tour is set to begin on 1 October in Northampton and head to the likes of Bristol, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Brighton, Nottingham, Newcastle, and Liverpool.

He'll also take the tour to Manchester, York and finish up the run on 4 November at London's Adelphi Theatre.

The actor said: "I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me – sharing the stage with myself. As the title indicates, the show will focus more than ever on my life and career.

"In the second half, the tables are turned and the audience will have the chance to put their questions to me. It should be a lot of fun."

Cox has starred in the likes of Braveheart, Troy, Match Point, and more recently HBO's Succession, which saw him win a Golden Globe and receive three Emmy nominations.

He's previously performed in King Lear, Rat in the Skull, and Titus Andronicus on stage, but this will mark his first solo show.
