About this event
“I was being called an overnight star, but it had taken me 95 years to get there”
Larry Grayson
Unable to “sing, dance or act”, Larry perfected a unique comic style to become a national treasure.
This dynamic drama charts Larry’s showbiz odyssey from humble beginnings, via his years as a trailblazing drag artiste, and into the hearts of millions as host of the BBC’s The Generation Game.
Larry is a tale of subterranean lows and stratospheric highs, reflecting on the beauty of dreams and the power of determination. Behind the glitter lies a rich story of enduring bonds and the painful scars of being gay in a time of criminalisation and stigma.
Join the comedy legend as he ‘opens that door’ on the most momentous performance he will ever give.
