Edin Intl Film Fest - Alan Cumming & Forbes Masson

The Front List: Alan Cumming & Forbes Masson in conversation with Jackie Kay. Live screening from Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Turns out the rumours of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated because Victor and Barry are coming to the Book Festival. Or, that is, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson are: the comedy geniuses behind the iconic Scottish double act and a hilarious new book, Victor and Barry’s Kelvinside Compendium.

The friends – who shot to fame in the 1980s – are now both giants of the stage and screen. Tonight, Jackie Kay leads us down memory lane – and up the garden path via their brand new book – as the pair reunite, and reveal how they went from a cult double act to kings of culture.
