Date 4 May 2025
Times 7.30pm
Location The Beacon – Wibsey Park
Ages 18+
Access
  • Wheelchair user access

Marcel Lucont, the multi-award-deserving deadpan French comedian, serves up a unique Whine List of your past gripes, moans and misdemeanours – while also dishing out some of his premier erotic poetry.

Arrive early to write down some of your worst experiences, then watch as misery-guts Marcel makes comedy from your tragedy live on stage at The Beacon. Expect louche musings, dry wit and Gallic superiority. Red or white?

As seen on The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Live at the Electric (BBC3), Live at the Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and Set List (Sky Atlantic)

‘Exceptionally dry… Superb’ – The Times

‘Fresh, accessible and hilarious’ – The Guardian

Please note
This show will be recorded for the forthcoming Whine List podcast. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime if you’d like to participate.
