Jack Docherty - Bowie and Me: Parallel Lives

 

Following rave reviews and a sell-out run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Jack Docherty, the BAFTA award-winning star of Scot Squad and Absolutely, is taking his critically-acclaimed show David Bowie and Me on tour.

The comic, author, actor and writer uses his time spent with Bowie on The Jack Docherty Show in 1997 as a jumping off point to take audiences through topics from first love, hedonism, mortality and why you should always meet your heroes.
From AI to culture wars, families to teenage years, David Bowie and Me - Parallel Lives is a journey of comedy and storytelling, taking fans on a trip through the inner workings of his masterful mind.

"Extremely enjoyable piece about his connection with late, great Starman" - The Evening Standard

"This show truly showcases Jack’s ability as a performer and story-teller, engaging with his audience from start to finish" - Edinburgh Evening News

"Docherty's mighty presence fills the room... a superbly delivered, autobiographical coming-of-age story" - Three Weeks

Meet the Author: Martin Stepek

 

One of Scotland's most renowned businessmen, and the longest-serving chairman of Hamilton Accies in the post-war era, Jan Stepek was a prominent resident of Hamilton for over 60 years.

However, his life before he came to Scotland in 1946 at the age of 23 was dramatic and tragic. He lost his home, his country, his father, his mother to starvation, and all his boyhood dreams lay in ruins as he slaved in a Soviet labour camp.

Join his son, Martin, as he explores the astonishing early life of Jan Stepek, as described in Martin's new book; and as it is taking place during Mental Health Month, we will also discuss the impact of trauma Jan experiences, and what creates the resilience it took to turn his destiny around as he sought to find a stable new life in a foreign land, Scotland.
