**Brian Cox Announces Nationwide Solo Stage Tour with “It’s All About Me!”**
Esteemed Scottish actor Brian Cox has unveiled plans for an ambitious UK and Ireland tour, taking centre stage in a solo show that promises to illuminate key moments from his storied career. The production, titled **“It’s All About Me!”**, will see Cox journey from Northampton to London, with eighteen live dates across prominent venues set to captivate audiences this autumn.
Best known in recent years for his role as the formidable Logan Roy in the acclaimed TV drama *Succession*, Cox will open his tour at Northampton’s Royal & Derngate Theatre on 1 October. The circuit will then snake through an array of cities including Bristol, Dublin, Dundee—his hometown—and York, before concluding with a grand finale at the Adelphi Theatre in the heart of London’s West End on 4 November.
Announcing the tour, Cox expressed enthusiasm for this unique theatrical venture, remarking, “I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me – sharing the stage with myself.” He went on to suggest that, as the title signals, this outing will offer an even more intimate exploration of his personal and professional journey. “It should be a lot of fun,” he added, promising a lively and candid experience for theatre-goers.
What distinguishes this production is its interactive element. While Cox will command the spotlight solo for the greater part of the evening, the show’s second half invites producer Clive Tulloh on stage. Tulloh, known for his work in television and live events, will facilitate a Q&A session, fielding questions from the audience and prompting Cox to reflect even further on the twists and turns of his career.
Publicists for the tour have described the show as a “riveting journey through his life, moving from the backstreets of Dundee to the dazzling allure of Hollywood.” Audiences are being told to anticipate a performance replete with wit, emotional recollections, and the unvarnished honesty that has become a Cox trademark. According to the official announcement, “Expect candour, searing honesty and hilarious stories” as the actor delves into both the highs and lows that have shaped his path.
Cox, whose trailblazing career began with a stint at Dundee Rep Theatre, has long been a towering figure in British theatre. His early years included formative roles at venues such as the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. It was here that his prodigious ability saw him lauded for a powerful turn as King Lear, among other classic parts.
His accolades are significant, including two prestigious Olivier Awards and an Emmy. His role as the patriarch Logan Roy in HBO’s *Succession* also earned him a Golden Globe, further cementing his position as a standout performer of his generation.
Tickets for “It’s All About Me!” will be available to the public from 10am this Wednesday at [BrianCoxOnTour.com](http://briancoxontour.com).
Cox’s upcoming tour underscores a growing appetite for personal storytelling on stage, particularly from figures with an extraordinary tapestry of experiences. It offers fans a rare opportunity to hear first-hand the anecdotes, insights, and dramatic reversals that are usually kept behind the scenes.
Whether recounting his modest beginnings in Dundee or reflecting on the glare of Hollywood, Cox’s live show is poised to offer theatre aficionados and TV enthusiasts alike a rich, engaging evening—one defined by authenticity, humour, and a dash of theatrical magic.
