Alan Cumming (2016 Event)
Dividing his time between New York and Hollywood, one of our best-kent Scottish actors has found himself at the centre of an impressive collection of scenes, scrapes and scraps in the world of showbiz. Alan Cumming has now gathered some of his best anecdotes and personal photographs into a charmingly cheeky book, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams. Talking to Sarfraz Manzoor, in this event filmed live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, he recounts some of his hysterical, riotous favourites.
