Audiences of An Evening with Richard E Grant will join the actor as he tells stories from his life and his extraordinary time in showbiz with uplifting reflections on love and loss, to celebrate the publication of his new book, A Pocketful of Happiness.
The book comes as a touching tribute to his late wife who passed away in 2021, after almost 40 years together.
She set Richard a challenge- to find a pocketful of happiness in every day. He found the task to be profoundly powerful, and this new book, drawing on both contemporary stories and recollections of his remarkable life and glittering career, is Richard’s way of honouring that challenge.
