Comedian Marcel Lucont pits kids against grown-ups as he looks to crown the most awful child in Bradford…

Marcel Lucont, the UK’s favourite French comedian, channels his razor-sharp humour and quickfire wit into a crazy family game show, pitting kids against adults – and each other! – to try and find Bradford’s most awful child.

A five-star hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and winner of the Best Kids Show Award at the UK Kids Comedy Festival, Les Enfants Terribles invites children to tackle a series of tricky tasks that are just as entertaining for adults as children. Watch in wonder as your kids get to try being politicians, pests and pétomanes to win this badge of dishonour…

‘Fresh, accessible and hilarious’ – The Guardian

‘An absolute gem… If you don’t have kids, borrow someone else’s… A treat from beginning to end’ – Edinburgh Festivals Magazine ★★★★★

‘A real highlight of Edinburgh for the entire Horne family – très funny’ Alex Horne, Taskmaster
