The outrageous, riotous memoir from the cult actor and star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue and IT.

Actor, rock ‘n’ roll singer, the prince of Halloween, confusing sex symbol. Many labels have been given to the inimitable Tim Curry over the years. All are true, and yet none are quite right.

Here, for the first time, Curry reveals the raucous and true story of the man who has captivated audiences on stage and screen for over 50 years.

From iconic roles as Frank N Furter, Wadsworth, and Pennywise the Clown, to brushes with the likes of Ian McKellen, Andy Warhol and even Kermit the Frog, Vagabond is a fascinating and riotous portrait of one the most enigmatic performers of our time.
