2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

You are currently privileged enough to be reading the press release of Marcel Lucont, France's award-winning flâneur, raconteur, bon-viveur, and easily the greatest UK-based French comedian around.

Do not leave until you have memorised every line - your life will be enriched by the experience.

In 2009 France's premier misanthropist and lover presented an hour of suave Gallic insight and attitude in his debut solo Edinburgh show Sexual Metro, which delighted both press and audiences alike. This was followed by his second critically acclaimed show, the aptly named Encore, winner of the Buxton Fringe Award for Best Comedy.

Now, fresh from a highly successful season at Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, as well as various TV appearances in New Zealand, Marcel is bringing his chat show to the UK, where he will interview different guests every night in his own unique style. That is, with very little respect for his guests, or for that matter his audience.

Expect top festival names, good wine and bawdy chat... Lucont style.

You can also buy Marcel's current book What We French Think Of You British (And Where You Are Going Wrong) from all bookshops with exquisite taste.
