Marcel Lucont @ Tuxedo Cat,Adelaide (27/02/11)

Mon 28th Feb, 2011 in Gig Reviews

A most welcome return to the Adelaide Fringe is Marcel Lucont. The barefoot Frenchman wearing a polo neck top and blazer, wine glass in-hand Lucont is France’s leading misanthropist and lover (self-proclaimed).

We are very fortunate to be part of his audience, as he will be quick to tell us. His comic timing is impeccable and the wit dry and shot with laser precision. All necessary attributes for this show. Lucont hosts a late night (10pm) chat show with many guests chatting with Marcel in a battle of wits, each of which ends in a staring competition between host and guest. Luconts deadpans throughout even when his guests are doing their best to break his stoic and amusing comic resolve. Guests so far this year have included Sam Simmons, Dave Callan, Stevl Shefn & His Translator Fatima. Excellent audience interactions and a must see from the 2011 Fringe.
