Brian Cox to tour in one man show
The final show is at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End on November 4.
Cox said: 'I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me – sharing the stage with myself.
'As the title indicates, the show will focus more than ever on my life and career.
'It should be a lot of fun.'
Cox, who was born in Dundee, will be joined on stage for the show's second half by producer Clive Tulloh, who will put questions from the audience to him.
Publicists said Cox 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.
'Expect candour, searing honesty and hilarious stories.'
Cox trained at Dundee Rep Theatre before going on to work at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he first gained recognition for his portrayal of King Lear.
His accolades include two Olivier Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award. He also won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Logan Roy in Succession.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Wednesday at BrianCoxOnTour.com.

22 baby names dying out in 2025
These names are not so trendy any more Naming a baby isn't easy - especially if your due date is drawing near and you're feeling under pressure. Thankfully, there are name sites dedicated to this exact conundrum to help parents make the right choice. But before you pick anything, did you know there are names that could be dying out in popularity - and very soon? Each year, BabyCenter highlights the most popular baby names, but what about the names that aren't so trendy? Looking at names which have dropped off within the last year, they spotted the beginning of the end for "-aden" boy names like Jaden and Kaden. They also noted that royal names have taken a step back. In their research, they said: "Catherine, Anne, Phillip, Albert, and Edward – all names of British royal family members in recent history – each tumbled more than 100 spots. Catherine took the biggest fall, though, dropping 221 spots." The naming experts further share that 80s and 90s names are falling off the charts with 'nickname' names instead growing in popularity. This refers to names such as Lexi, for Alexandra, and Archie for Archibald - son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Girl names at risk of going extinct These girl names saw the steepest decline from 2023 to 2024: Jamie (down 320) Katie (down 290) Remy (down 277) Liv (down 257) Analia (down 245) Karina (down 243) Belle (down 242) Erin (down 231) Bristol (down 230) Lilia (down 230) Catherine (down 221) Boy names at risk of going extinct These boy names saw the steepest decline from 2023 to 2024: Jamal (down 433) Esteban (down 283) Cannon (down 268) Emery (down 241) Taylor (down 199) Kareem (down 193) Idris (down 187) Camilo (down 185) Matthias (down 179) Danny (down 176) Aziz (down 170) For anyone keen on Royal names, Anne came in at the 15th spot for going extinct. meanwhile for boys, Louie came in 12th place, Philip in 15th followed by Albert in 16th and Edward at number 20.

Lena Dunham says new Netflix series is a 'love letter' to her favourite UK city
Lena Dunham was 23 when she sold her Bafta- and Golden Globe-winning series Girls to HBO - which offered a more nuanced and realistic portrayal of four 20-something women navigating life in New York Landing a deal with HBO at the tender age of 23, Lena Dunham 's Girls offered an authentic glimpse into the lives of four 20-somethings in New York City, bagging both Bafta and Golden Globe accolades along the way. After wrapping up Girls in 2017, Lena Dunham has been busy directing comedic gems such as Catherine Called Birdy with stars Bella Ramsey and Andrew Scott, and helming the pilot for the dramatic series Industry. Now, aged 39 and a decade on from the Girls finale, Dunham is gearing up for her latest venture, Too Much. The 10-episode rom-com extravaganza ropes in The White Lotus 's Will Sharpe and Hacks sensation Megan Stalter. In collaboration with her beau, English rockstar Luis Felber, the show takes a leaf out of their own romantic tale. Dunham shared insights on the creative process: "I think obviously the seeds of it came from our life, and then once you begin writing, you find out who the characters are and you take a journey that moves away from it." She has an affinity for spinning tales from personal threads, adding: "I always like to write from a place that begins with the personal, because I think personal stories are universal – and then see what it has in store for me." Viewers will follow Jessica, played by Stalter — a dedicated New Yorker hitting a reset button in London post-heartbreak — forming an intriguing bond with Sharpe's Felix. Too Much not only charts their blossoming rapport but also explores the humorous question underlying transatlantic romance: Do Americans and Brits genuinely talk the same language? Dunham, who relocated from New York to London in 2021, refers to Too Much as a love letter to the UK's capital city. "I love everything about London," she expressed. "I love the contrast of the city." Just as Girls provided a more unfiltered view of New York, Too Much showcases a grittier, less glossy side of London. Instead of residing in an idyllic Borough Market flat like Bridget Jones, Jessica lives in a council estate in Hoxton, East London.

"Growing up in New York, I was obsessed with Sex and the City," Dunham reflected. "I thought, when I graduate from university, I'm going to live in this fantastic flat and my oven is going to be full of Manolo Blahniks. "Then I entered the world as a recession was starting, and so many of my mates were job hunting and living in, you know, literal rooms the size of this tiny table in Brooklyn – and I hadn't seen that reflected on screen. "When I moved to London, again I had been fed those same romantic comedies. To me, it's not even about portraying glamour versus non-glamour. I find all of London glamorous, and I wanted to be able to show a diverse array of locations – because I'm very enamoured with the city." The eagerly awaited series 'Too Much' will drop on Netflix for streaming starting Thursday 10 July.
