Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer touring together this fall
Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer are taking their already very public displays of affection on the road, teaming up for a brief West Coast tour that’s been aptly dubbed “An Evening With Neil Gaiman And Amanda Palmer,” because “Goths Night Out” would be reductive. If that title sounds rather vague and open-ended, Gaiman agrees: “This will be whatever happens when we get together on a stage for two hours,” he says via press release, though the couple does promise “an unusual and intimate few hours of spoken word, songs, stories, and chats with the audience” conducted while the couple is ensconced in a couple of cozy armchairs. “I'm hoping that Amanda's fans will put up with the messy-haired Englishman reading them stories, and that mine will enjoy the beautiful lady signing them songs of angst, post-modernism and woe,” Gaiman says needlessly, because come on.
