Marcel Lucont & Yacine Belhousse: act to act
Paris-based stand-up Yacine Belhousse, who supported Eddie Izzard on a recent French tour, is in Edinburgh this month to perform an all-English show for the very first time. Though, of course, he's not the only French comedian to make Edinburgh his summer home, oh no. A certain Marcel Lucont has been long flying the flag for La France in these parts for quite some time. So we asked Lucont to interview his fellow countryman as he headed towards the Festival City.
Marcel Lucont, ThreeWeeks, 9th August 2014Fringe Review at The Pleasance
The Pleasance is still rooted primarily at the Courtyard and the Dome. These are two very different venues. The Courtyard is just that - a courtyard, with outdoor bars and catering (an indoor bar as well) and an often crowded, outdoor festival feel.

Ben Williams, Time Out, 23rd July 2014More details
A modern man's majestic musings on mortality, morality, and masculinity from multi award-deserving maverick Marcel Lucont. Is is a multimedia mélange of magnificence mixing up stand-up, songs and poetry, with a dash of visual trickery.
Louche as ever, with Is Marcel treats Edinburgh once again to a full hour of Himself. Lucky Edinburgh.
All-in-all as much a treat for regular Marcellites as for newcomers to Monsieur Lucont's oeuvre; prepare your sous-vêtements to be charmed away by this Frenchman regardless of your gender or sexual preference.
Marcel has toured the world with his dry wit, bawdy chansons and exquisite sex poetry. He has played the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival, New Zealand Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, UK, Singapore, Amsterdam, Croatia, Vietnam, Slovenia and Jersey. As seen on Sky Atlantic's Set List, BBC Three's Russell Howard's Good News, Live At The Electric, Best Bits (New Zealand) and Comedy Gala (New Zealand).
Now he's coming back to the Fringe. So get a slice of the best Frenchman in town while you can.
