Good news for fans of Grayson Perry: the transvestite, Turner Prize-winning ceramicist is going on a UK theatre tour later this year. In the five-date tour, entitled Typical Man in a Dress, Perry will bring his own inimitable brand of humour and candour to subjects such as modern masculinity (why do men, for instance, try to overtake all other cyclists when going up big hills?). It takes in Sheffield, Bristol, Salford and Glasgow, with a night at the London Palladium on 3 November.
