The Final Bow: His Last Tour On The Road

Richard Dawkins – one of the most respected scientists and thinkers of our time – has decided to ‘quit while ahead’ after his autumn series of shows across the UK and Europe.

His new tour, An Evening with Richard Dawkins and Friends launches in the US next month, before a series of shows across England and Scotland in October and November.

The world-renowned evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of such landmark books as The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and Unweaving The Rainbow has earned millions of admirers through his passion for the wonders of science and the vital importance of reason.

Speaking about his decision to step away from touring, Richard Dawkins said: “I am 83 years old, and travel is more irksome than it was.

“The maxim, ‘Quit while you’re ahead’ has recently received a welcome boost, and I anticipate that this will be my last EU/UK tour. My swansong. My final bow.

“There’ll be a Q&A at every event. And I’ll be signing any or all of my 19 books, including The Genetic Book of the Dead, which will be just published.

“This will probably be your last opportunity to tell me how profoundly you disagree with everything I’ve written and said. Or the reverse if that is the case. Either way, I look forward to seeing you.”

Renowned for his unapologetic advocacy of science and reason, Dawkins is celebrated for groundbreaking work that captivates millions with his passion for scientific inquiry.

In his new tour, Dawkins and friends will share conversations on topics from science to religion, life on earth and beyond, as well as his upcoming book The Genetic Book of the Dead (available September 17), in which Dawkins delves into the transformative potential of DNA in our understanding of evolution.

So don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this enlightening experience delivered with this legendary scientist’s trademark honesty and wit.

The UK dates of An Evening With Richard Dawkins and Friends are promoted by Live Nation’s Cuffe and Taylor in association with WME and IDEATE.

Ben Hatton, Cuffe and Taylor’s Director of Theatre Touring, said: “One of the world’s foremost scientists and thinkers of our time, we are honoured to be hosting Richard Dawkins’ final live shows across England and Scotland.

“Richard’s live shows are certain to be thought-provoking and insightful, and as a last chance to challenge this revered and respected thinker will quite simply be unmissable.”
