I wrote and directed this short film for the W Hotel Times Square in support of the animal adoption charity Broadway Barks. My friend and long time collaborator Ned Stresen-Reuter shot and edited it, and it was premiered at a party at the W Times Square on December 8th. It marked the movie debut of my dog Jerry, and the final appearance of our dear departed Leon.
I started writing a column for the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada.

I am performed a lot of concerts this year. I played Ft Lauderdale, New Orleans, San Francisco, Buck's County, Carnegie Hall with the NY Pops, a two week run of my new show Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs at the Cafe Carlyle and then Saratoga, the Ravinia festival in Chicago, Bard College Spiegeltent, Indianapolis, Kean University, Scottsdale, Atlantic City, New Bedford.
At the end of the year I went to Australia and performed in Brisbane, Lismore, Melbourne and Sydney.
I shot a series of short interviews about iconic moments in people’s lives entitled, “Remember That Time.” We shot them at Sardi’s, the legendary theater restaurant in New York City, and they were first broadcast on CBS All Access.
