Visiting Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Saturday, March 11, Roxane will explore 'politics, patriarchy and Beyoncé', in a show that dissects modern culture.

Speaking about her upcoming UK tour, Roxane said: "I am so excited to visit Scotland for the first time and return to England visiting Liverpool, London, and Bath.

"The past several years have been turbulent here in the United States and abroad in the U.K. Trump! January 6th! Brexit! BoJo! Harry and Meghan!

"We have a lot to talk about and I can't wait to start that conversation."

An Untamed State, Gay's debut novel, was long-listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. She was the first black woman to lead a Marvel title, writing a comic series in the Black Panther universe called World of Wakanda.

Her first UK tour will also visit Edinburgh's Usher Hall on March 9 and Bath's Forum on March 15.

Tickets are priced between £25 and £35 and can be found via this link.
