Actor

Alan Cumming is beyond eclectic. His most recent projects include creating a dance theatre piece about the Scottish bard Robert Burns, lip-synching the protagonist in a documentary, directing a podcast series about a sperm bank heist, playing a gangster opposite Liam Neason in a Neil Jordan film, curating a cabaret festival in Australia and recording a duet with a Gaelic rapper. Perhaps not surprisingly, Time Magazine called him one of the three most fun people in show business (the others were Cher and Stanley Tucci!)

Sunrise Theatre

Scottish-American polymath Alan Cumming returns with his new cabaret show Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, an evening of story and song celebrating and exploring his puckish, eclectic spirit and joie de vivre, with a joyful and mischievous exploration of that most communal of pastimes: aging!

In Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, he covers all the bases: sex, death and bacchanalia, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself. Songs from Cabaret authors John Kander and Fred Ebb blend with contemporary favorites and even a self-penned paean against plastic surgery. ‘I am literally the only person on American TV who has not had Botox!’ he quips. He also discusses the effects of gravity, the time the mum from The Brady Bunch punched him in the stomach and what his dog taught him about the quality of life.

Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro—the famed British actor of screen and stage and the longtime host of NPR's All Things Considered, respectively—may seem like an odd couple, but the two friends are both storytellers who seek to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. Born of an impromptu collaboration on stage at one of Shapiro’s solo shows, “Och & Oy: A Considered Cabaret” is an evening of songs and stories with a tongue-in-cheek title that references their Scottish (Och) and Jewish (Oy) heritage. And while the bawdy and risqué two-man cabaret is not formally scripted, the pair does tend to sing the same songs and hit the same beats with an undeniable chemistry, feeding off each other’s energy on stage. With musical direction by Henry Koperski.
