Oscar-nominated actor Richard E Grant is celebrating the publication of his new book with a series of special events in October.

He will be travelling around the UK to promote A Pocketful of Happiness, beginning at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on October 13th.

The tour will also include a stop at the London Palladium on 30th October; and online event on 4th November; and wraps up at the Hall for Cornwall on 7th November.

Grant will discuss the inspiration behind the book – how, when his wife Joan died in 2021 after almost 40 years together, she set him a challenge: to find a pocketful of happiness in every day.

He found the instruction to be profoundly powerful, and this new book, drawing on both contemporary stories and recollections of his life and career, is Richard’s way of honouring that challenge.
