He's coming north to put a stop to what he says is the ill-advised happy-go-lucky attitude exhibited by New Zealanders.
Hilarious "French" raconteur Marcel Lucont tonight brings the 2degrees Comedy Convoy to Whangarei, featuring alongside comedians from the US, UK and New Zealand.
Lucont - the alter-ego of British born Alexis Dubus - is known for his ironic French narcissism and appreciation for the finer things. He plays host tonight, bringing with him snippets of his audience participation-laden show The Whine List, which was on in Auckland and Wellington as part of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.
He comes to Whangarei - "I never before been, the audience better not screw it up" - with an arsenal of Kiwi's biggest "bugger" moments and says he now has unique insight into the people of New Zealand.
"Through it, I got to discover what irks the people of New Zealand," Lucont says. "The attitude is 'no worries'. But you should have worries. It's to get to the front of the moans and whines of persons in New Zealand - like a therapy session, but we all leave a little more depressed.
