Alan Cumming brings new solo cabaret ‘Uncut’ to Judson’s for Valentine’s weekend

Versatile actor and writer Alan Cumming is on his way to the Dr. Phillips Center, where he’ll be holding court at Judson’s Live over Valentine’s weekend with his solo cabaret show “Uncut.” (The venue was made for this type of show.)

“Uncut” is a deeply personal work for Cumming — currently getting raves as the host of reality series The Traitors, though we loved him most in Josie and the Pussycats. The suite of interconnected songs and stories is “undiluted, unadulterated, about being whole,” said Cumming in an interview with the Hollywood Soapbox.

“It’s about being an outsider, and how that can be sometimes, but ultimately it gives you a really good perspective on life.”

His perspective is, perhaps, more needed than ever. In recent days he’s come out swinging against Trump’s attacks on transgender Americans. So he’ll not mince words during these shows, but that makes for even better art.
