Testimonials

Wonderful French wit… his elegant, sardonic turns of phrase are an utter joy… superb stuff.
Time Out

An absolute gem… a treat from beginning to end.
Edinburgh Festivals

Marcel’s control of his audience is like that of Stewart Lee, and I have no higher praise than that… Pulling clever punchlines out of every interaction with his audience… Sometimes arrogance is bliss.
The Scotsman, Edinburgh Fringe

A lyrical master with expert delivery… original and well-developed jokes. Marcel is a clever comedian, his jokes sharp and witty and the whole concept of his performance is rather genius.
Caroline Cook, Reading Post, Reading Fringe Festival

Marcel Lucont Is’ is on a new scale… Lucont demands your attention immediately by delivering my favourite opening line of the festival… This show will not disappoint, and even if it did Marcel wouldn’t care for your stupidity. Poetry, philosophy and song. Life with Marcel Lucont is magnifique and an honour.
Ingrid Grenar, KeepingUpWithNZ, New Zealand Comedy Festival

Who can resist Marcel Lucont, poet, charlatan, seducer of women and shameless despiser of all that is not French… Lucont has become such a cult the audience laps up his disapprobation… pulling clever punchlines out of every interaction with his audience… Sometimes, arrogance is bliss.
Claire Smith, The Scotsman, Edinburgh Fringe

Adopting a status higher than Mont Blanc, philosopher, poet, lover and bon vivant Marcel Lucont is here to spend the best part of his hour on his two favourite subjects: himself, and how much better than you he is… The writing here is often impeccable, with a slick efficiency of words expressing astute sentiment, sometimes ironic, sometimes not… hilarious.
Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk, Edinburgh Fringe

Marcel Lucont is a loveable misanthrope. He’s superior, disdainful, insulting and hilarious. From the moment he minced onto the Rangatira stage in his bare feet wearing that perfectly engineered sneer, to when he left with an arrogant toss of his head, I laughed and laughed.
Courteney Peters, Gather And Hunt, New Zealand Comedy Festival
