Joanna Lumley comes to Edinburgh on first ever live tour

Joanna Lumley is to come to Edinburgh as part of her first ever live tour.

The actress is performing 30 dates across the country, including one at the EICC on the 18th of October 2018.

The show - called 'It's All About Me - is said to consist of stories from throughout her career, including some "never heard before" tales.

On announcing It’s All About Me, Joanna said: "The thought of this tour next year, travelling across the British Isles and Ireland, has completely taken over my waking hours.

"It’s utterly thrilling to start planning the stories I can tell, and the rapture (and gratitude, to be fair) with which I shall greet the audiences.

"Nothing like this has come my way before, and I may have to be dragged off with a hook at the end of each show. Oh people! This is especially for you from me, with masses of love. I think it will be fabulous."
