Acclaimed French comedian Marcel Lucont presents a wild family gameshow, in which kids get to be pests, politicians and pétomanes to be crowned the most awful child.
Winner of the Best Kids Show at the UK Kids Comedy Festival and a big hit at Edinburgh Fringe and many other festivals, the multi award-winning comic channels his acerbic humour and quickfire wit into a series of tasks for the younger generation, which is every bit as entertaining for adults as it is for children.
Marcel Lucont has toured the world over the past 15 years. He has won the Fringe World Award for Best Comedy Show, the Amused Moose Award for Best Comedy Show at Edinburgh Fringe and was named as one of the Top 10 Edinburgh Fringe Children’s Shows by Time Out, The Scotsman, Fest and Broadway World.
As seen on Comedy Central At The Comedy Store, Set List (Sky Atlantic), The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC3) and Live At The Electric (BBC3).
