Quite literally, apparently.
Alan Cumming is cumming. “I’m standing naked, masturbating,” Alan
tells me over the phone when I ask where in the world he is, “where are
you?” I tell him I’m standing in our interview booth and,
unfortunately, I’m not masturbating. I clarify the question. “Oh, I see
what you mean. I’m in New York,” says the Scottish-born performer.
Alan is also ‘cumming’ to Australia. Performing his popular show, I Bought A Blue Car Today,
“but a slightly different version.” Alan explains that it will be the
same show he performed during Mardi Gras in February, but “this time
it’s only going to be me and a piano and a cello. Some of the songs
have changed and stuff. It’s always kind of evolving,” says the cheeky
interviewee.
Unfortunately, I can’t take the credit for the pun. Alan uses it
himself, regularly. Most notably, and to good effect, for his fragrance
and body care range – Cumming, a range that includes such sensuous
items as: Cumming All Over, Cumming In A Bar, and Cumming Clean. Which
will all leave you, ‘of course, smelling lightly of Cumming,’ according
to the product website.
