You know you've probably cracked life when TIME Magazine names you in the top three most-fun people in show business. That's Alan Cumming.  The Scottish star has been nominated and awarded for just about everything you can think of both on screen and on stage - and Alan's not slowing down anytime soon.  He's bringing his own show to our shores next year called Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age - a joyful and mischievous exploration of ageing.   Alan Cumming joined Jack Tame. *Tickets are on sale for Alan's shows in Wellington and Auckland in January from Ticketmaster now*   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
