Winner of Best Comedy Show at the Fringe World Awards and the Amused Moose Award for Best Comedy Show at Edinburgh Fringe, Marcel Lucont has packed houses from Soho Theatre to SoHo Playhouse New York, from Melbourne to New Zealand, with his deadpan wit and Gallic superiority. As seen on Live at the Electric (BBC), Set List (Sky Atlantic) and The John Bishop Show (BBC1).

The Whine List is part stand-up, part group therapy – except Marcel offers no solutions and feels no sympathy. Marcel then dissects audiences' gripes, moans and misdemeanours with characteristic disdain, pulling punchlines from your worst days at work, your romantic disasters and your most regrettable travel experiences. No two shows are ever the same. Nobody leaves feeling better about themselves. Everyone leaves in stitches.

"Fresh, accessible and hilarious" — The Guardian "Uniquely funny"
★★★★★ — The Scotsman "Comedy doesn't get much better than this"
