Flâneur, raconteur, bon-viveur, and easily the greatest French comedian around, Marcel Lucont presents his acclaimed improvised show, which has toured the world, from London to Los Angeles, Norway to New Zealand.
Marcel Lucont’s Whine List is a kind of group therapy session, but one where everybody will probably leave more depressed. Eager to cash in on humanity’s obsessions with self-help, Marcel offers his audiences the opportunity to air their gripes, moans and whines in front of a man who has plenty of his own.
Marcel’s deadpan musings and premier erotic poetry have made him a cult favourite at festivals around the globe and this year Whine List is becoming a regular podcast.
