Laughs are in the air, everywhere you look around! Join us at this warmhearted comedy gem of an evening where cynics and romantics are welcome in equal measure. Our feelgood February line-up includes Marcel Lucont, Jessica Fostekew and Taylor Glenn as MC.
MARCEL LUCONT
Flâneur, raconteur and bon-viveur, Marcel has toured the world with his dry wit, bawdy chansons and exquisite sex poetry. On this of all dates, we welcome France's premier misanthropist and lover.
