Marcel Lucont - GG Pick of the Fringe 09

Marcel Lucont - France's premier misanthropist and lover – is the alter-ego of Englishman Alexis Dubus. Devilishly handsome and devastatingly disdainful, Lucont has written many self-acclaimed books and has been awarded several self-awarded awards.
A lovable French rogue, so endearing that the audience feels guilty for centuries of jokes made at our Gallic cousins expenses. It is a joy of a show and the first top class character live comedy ever in Spain.
The problem with live character comedy is it can rarely hold its own for more than 20 minutes but Lucont nails it throughout. We expect a comedy hungry Giggling Guiri faithful to snap these up so advice as ever is to get them as early as possible.
“Boasting a typically Gallic flair for elegant, flowery insults and an instinctive feel for the seamier side of life, Lucont is a fresh, accessible and hilarious take on the British tradition of anti-French gags.” The Guardian
