Summary

Will and Chris travel to Edinburgh to meet the actor Alan Cumming. It’s a fascinating and funny conversation which covers Alan’s life in New York, the amazing nights at his Club Cumming venue and his new project, playing the first gay leading role on a US network drama. Will and Alan discuss being the The Emcee in Cabaret, a role they’ve each played 3 times, and the continuing relevance of the play. Alan also tells them about identifying as bisexual, what gay marriage can teach straight people and how he confronted his father over the abuse he suffered as a child. Plus - Will and Chris talk Queer Eye, Picasso, witch doctors and what’s on your bucket list.
