MULTI award-winning actor Brian Cox embarks on his first ever one man show It’s All About Me! later this year - and will be visiting Plymouth Pavilions on October 17.

Brian will take to the road for the 18-date tour from October 1 and visit venues across the UK and Ireland, culminating in London’s West End at the Adelphi Theatre on November 4.

He will take audiences on a journey through his life and incredible career - from the backstreets of Dundee to the glittering lights of Hollywood - a journey that is full of laughter and pathos.

Audiences can expect candour, searing honesty, and hilarious stories. In act II, Brian will be joined on stage by producer Clive Tulloh, who will put questions from the audience to him.

"I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me - sharing the stage with myself.,” Brian said.

“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."
