Star says he's not ready to take his one-man show on the road

Succession star Brian Cox has postponed his first one-man tour It’s All About Me!, saying he’s been too busy.  

The 79-year-old actor – also known for playing comedy character Bob Servant – was due to embark on the  18-date It's All About Me! tour on October 1.

But he has now told BBC Newscast he was ‘tired’ after the amount of work he had done this year, and that was too soon to go on the road.

Cox has been performing in Make it Happen at the Edinburgh International Festival and is due to unveil his new film Glenrothan - the first he has directed - at the Toronto Film Festival next month.

 He told the BBC : ‘I just thought "I'll do it some time", [October is] just too soon. It's been very busy and I just thought 'I can't be doing it’

Cox’s other comedy role include appearing in Charlie Brooker’s spoof police procedural, A Touch of Cloth, playing Daphne’s father Harry in Frasier (earning an Emmy nomination) as well as King Lear in a French and Saunders sketch and Marlon Brando in Sky’s Urban Myths

The tour, which was to have kicked off at the Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton, had promised ‘hilarious’ stories from his  life ‘from the backstreets of Dundee to the glittering lights of Hollywood’.
