Alan Cumming’s takeaway after spending more time in Maine: ‘What’s not to like?
The Broadway, TV and film star performs with Ari Shapiro in Portland on Friday, after hosting his Club Cumming on the Coast in Kennebunkport this summer. And he’d like to come back more.
Alan Cumming was quick to tick off the things he loves about being in Maine – biking, taking a boat ride to the Isles of Shoals, and having dinner with his friend and fellow entertainer Caroline Rhea at her southern Maine home.
The Broadway, TV and film star was also quick – and decisive – in identifying his least favorite thing about Maine.
“My least favorite thing is answering dopey questions about what’s my least favorite thing about Maine. What’s not to like?” said Cumming.
