John Barrowman has exciting news for fans who missed his live ‘Laid Bare’ tour or wish to experience it again. The actor and performer announced that his successful show, which completed 50 dates across the UK, will soon be available to stream globally from the comfort of viewers’ homes.
Glasgow Performance Captured For Worldwide Streaming
In a recent Instagram post, Barrowman revealed that the performance recorded in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland will be streamed on April 25, 26, and 27. ‘You asked and we are doing it. We recorded the performance in my home town of Glasgow Scotland and on April 25, 26 and 27 you can stream it into your home,’ Barrowman shared in his announcement video. The post also contains what Barrowman describes as ‘something funny’ that viewers who saw the show are asked not to give away, teasing an amusing moment from the performance that will be included in the stream.
For those interested in watching, Barrowman explained that streaming passes are now available for purchase. He noted that instructions on how to watch will be sent to the email used for purchase 12 to 24 hours before the stream goes live.
Bringing ‘Laid Bare’ To A Global Audience
The streaming announcement follows what appears to have been a highly successful UK tour. In previous posts, Barrowman expressed gratitude to attendees, saying, ‘Thank you to everyone who came out to see Laid Bare. I had such a wonderful time traveling the UK and performing for you. Your support means the world to me.’
From Doctor Who To The Stage
John Barrowman, widely recognized for his roles as Captain Jack Harkness in the BBC series ‘Doctor Who’ and its spinoff ‘Torchwood,’ has maintained a strong connection with his fanbase through various performance formats. His hashtags consistently include #doctorwho and #whovian, acknowledging the significant portion of his fan community that follows him from his television work.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, before moving to the United States as a child, Barrowman has built an impressive career spanning television, film, theater, and music. His return to perform in his hometown clearly holds special significance, as he frequently references Glasgow and Scotland in his posts about the tour.
Behind The Scenes Of The Tour
Throughout the tour, Barrowman has shared numerous glimpses into life on the road. One especially meaningful moment came when the touring group stopped at Gretna Green, where Barrowman and his husband Scott Male had ‘struck the anvil’ 15 years prior—a reference to the location’s famous wedding traditions. The post showed both old and new photos of the couple at the landmark. Other behind-the-scenes moments include light-hearted clips with Keith Jack, amusing car rides that Barrowman calls ‘mad’ and ‘stupid,’ and glimpses of pre-show preparations.
Personal And Professional Journey
In a recent interview with STV News that Barrowman shared on his Instagram, he discussed both his current tour and addressed press coverage about him from recent years, describing the conversation as ‘Brutal but Honest.’ This suggests the ‘Laid Bare’ show may indeed live up to its name, potentially offering fans a more intimate and personal look at the performer’s life and career.
The multi-talented entertainer has been actively engaging with fans through social media, not only promoting his show but also sharing personal moments. A recent lengthy cooking video showed him preparing Easter lamb dinner while chatting ‘about everything and anything,’ demonstrating his continued desire to connect with his audience beyond structured performances.
For fans of Barrowman’s work across television, theater, and music, the streaming announcement provides an opportunity to experience his latest show regardless of geographical location. As the hashtags on his posts indicate (#lgbtq, #love, #music, #fanfamily), Barrowman continues to embrace his diverse fan community while sharing his talents globally.
