‘Hold on to your chapeaux, because this story is a beezer! It’s a stoatir, so it is!’

Victor and Barry are the epitome of the expression ‘big in the 80s’. Annoyingly, they were also a little big in the first bit of the 90s too, so that phrase doesn’t really pan out very satisfactorily; much like Victor and Barry themselves, in fact, who completely disappeared from the face of the Scottish showbiz scene in 1994 and were rumoured to have actually died on stage.

But apparently rumours of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated, and the two can still be spotted strolling the leafy suburban lanes near the home they have shared for many decades at 22B Lacrosse Terrace, Kelvinside, Glasgow G12.

In Victor and Barry’s Kelvinside Compendium, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson reminisce about their hectic years as Victor and Barry through both beloved and never-before-seen photos, songs and musings in a scrapbook style compendium, including a foreword from former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Alan Cumming is an mutli award-winning actor, writer, producer and performer of numerous productions including Hamlet, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Endgame, Cabaret, X2, The Good Wife, Schmigadoon! and many more. He collaborated with Forbes Masson in the 1980s to create comedy alter-egos Victor and Barry before adapting the characters for The High Life. Forbes Masson is an Associate Artist with the Royal Shakespeare Company, known for his roles in classical theatre and musicals as well as his part in The Crown. He is also known for his comedy partnership with Alan Cumming. Masson and Cumming wrote The High Life, a Scottish situation comedy in which they play the lead characters, Steve McCracken and Sebastian Flight. Characters McCracken and Flight were heavily based on Victor and Barry, famous Scottish comedy alter-egos of Masson and Cumming.
