RENOWNED actor, singer, author, and entertainer John Barrowman takes to the road this autumn with a brand new solo show - and will be playing two dates at Exeter’s Northcott Theatre in November.

His latest show, Laid Bare is unwavering and uncensored about his passion for life and his profound love of song and story. 

Audiences will be in for a treat as the star of stage and screen brings his unique brand of music and storytelling to theatres up and down the country.  

Every song, whether a Broadway classic or a contemporary hit, showcases John’s inimitable style and his dazzling voice. His stories and personal anecdotes burst with his keen wit, Scottish charm, and infectious energy.

‘I’m really excited about my new show,’ said  John.  

‘I can’t wait to get on the road and perform for my fan family and all the new faces when I visit Devon.’

‘Hopefully who will get to know me better as I get back to my roots, celebrate my journey and tell my stories as I am laid bare  for everyone to enjoy!’

John is a huge theatre star on both sides of the Atlantic due to his critically-acclaimed leading roles in Broadway and West End productions. 

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he moved with his family to the US at the age of eight and returned to the UK to make his West End debut alongside Elaine Paige, in Cole Porter’s Anything Goes.  

Since then he’s racked up a formidable list of theatre credits and has worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, and Cameron Macintosh and has cemented his status as one of the most versatile, compelling and popular performers of his generation. 

In the UK his West End fame quickly led him to the hearts of TV fans with his high profile roles in Doctor Who and Torchwood as the iconic Captain Jack Harkness, and as the face of TV talent shows Dancing on Ice, I’d Do Anything, Any Dream Will Do and How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.  

Making his mark on American television, he appeared on Desperate Housewives and helped create the iconic villain Malcolm Merlyn for the DC/CW franchise, Arrow. 

His highly successful recording career includes ten best-selling solo albums and several cast albums. He will be performing some of his favourite songs from the album on tour giving him the opportunity of wowing audiences with his stunning vocal range. John also became a Sunday Times best-selling author for his autobiography Anything Goes and has since co-written nine action/adventure books with his sister Carole Barrowman. 

You can catch John at the Northcott on November 14 and 15. Ticket details are available from the venue’s website https://exeternorthcott.co.uk.
