Following rave reviews and a sold out Edinburgh Fringe, BAFTA award-winning star of Scot Squad and cult classic Absolutely, returns with his critically-acclaimed show.
‘The starman weaves in and out of the narrative like a spectral presence’
★★★★ Evening Standard

The comic, author, actor and writer uses his time spent with Bowie on The Jack Docherty Show in 1997 as a jumping off point to take audiences through topics from first love, hedonism, mortality and why you should always meet your heroes.

From AI to culture wars, families to teenage years, David Bowie and Me – Parallel Lives is a journey of comedy and storytelling, taking fans on a trip through the inner workings of his masterful mind.
