What can I expect from the Louis Theroux shows?
The Edinburgh and Dundee shows are the launch on a new series of live events that will bring some of the world’s most fascinating storytellers to stages across the country - entitled True Stories.
He will share behind-the-scenes stories from a career that has taken him face-to-face with some of the planet’s most extreme, controversial and fascinating characters including his long-awaited new series on Netflix, Inside the Manosphere, where he meets the influencers that are reshaping and radicalising young men’s ideas about masculinity and manhood.
The events mark the first step in a broader national ambition for the True Stories brand, with plans to bring major speakers to cities across Scotland and the UK.
Theroux will be interviewed by former journalist Ryan Crighton, Senior Partner at True North Advisors.
Crighton said: “True Stories is built on a very simple idea – that people are fascinated by the moments that shape remarkable lives. We’re used to seeing successful people in carefully curated environments, but what audiences really connect with are the human stories behind the headlines – the setbacks, the risks, the turning points. Louis Theroux is the perfect person to launch this new series. His work has always been about understanding people and uncovering the real stories behind public perception.”
The North Berwick event, meanwhile, will be a 75 minute interview in the Fringe by the Sea Big Top venue.
