being a regular watcher of The Graham Norton Show, i can attest to Alan's statement that _that is_ the cleanest story from Miriam 😆

[jeanneratterman]

Alan Cumming is one of my most favorite actors ever. Love his humor, his accent, his joy, his honesty, that twinkle he seems to always have in his eyes! 🥰

[willowtdog]

Love how Alan Cumming called Miriam Morgolyes a legend as he isn't equally legendary. They are both absolute icons.

"In Scotland, we don't like having the wool pulled over our eyes, and we also admire people who can." 😂

[jimhood]

Alan is an excellent story teller. And an excellent actor. One of Scotland's finest.

[seannanana]

Miriam is such an icon I adore her, and I could listen to Alan Cummings tell stories all day.

[jujitsujew]

Miriam Margolyes is incredible and her stories on Graham Norton are HILARIOUS

[senguptasayn]

My memory of Miriam was on the Richard and Judy show. They were talking about the menopause and Richard said "You will understand these problems, won't you Miriam. She replied "not really dear, I'm still moist down there" Poor Richard nearly choked.

I screamed out loud when this trailor for the show dropped. Alan Cummings role is sublime. I can't recommend the show enough.

[khallo]

That story makes me love Miriam 100x more

[zzzroxyzzz]

Miriam is a treasure, one of the funniest women and best story tellers, I wish I could meet her one day and there's not a lot of celebs I give a flip about meeting but I'd love to see her in person.

There's a reason this man (in his Cabaret MC incarnation) is my screensaver.
He's the epitome of Puckish sexiness. <3

[lizturner]

Alan is the BEST in all he does! Genuine talent and that mad twinkle in his eyes. When it comes to Alan…more, more, MORE! ❤️🇨🇦

[tmanchu]

I love full circle stories. Humble and immensely talented man.

[catherinepowers]

Brilliant wonderful talented Alan! I love to watch Miriam and Alan on Graham Norton. Uncensored and fabulous!

[boabswife]

I saw BURN in Glasgow in August. Utterly incredible play and Cumming’s performance is a tour de force. Go see it if you get the chance. Phenomenal!

[EatinPaste]

Always love seeing Alan Cumming, and Miriam Margolyes.

[moonlightpixie]

I love his character Eli Gold he's just amazing I don't anybody else could play him. He's such a great actor.

Alan Cumming and Miriam Margolyes: the two funnest people on the planet. It was absolute genius to pair them up. Just finished the first season (series) and have thoroughly enjoyed the tour but, even more, I felt like I was in the company of two amazing human beings.
