LIVE IN THE TIME OF CORONA
Well since "that" all occurred, I won't lie, I've mostly been having a little enforced rest. Now that that piece of admin is done, I'm back to doing shows, just a little differently to before. I'll be listing any online shows I'm a part of in the Gigs section, but I'm also starting up a weekly Marcel one:LUCONT'S LOUCHE LOCKDOWN LOUNGE - Live
Every Thursday, 9pm GMT, from April 23rd.
An "audience" of 10 will be selected from applications via the Marcel Missive (sign up HERE), and that show will be beamed to YouTube HERE.
It may well be more "loose" than "louche" to start with, but looking forward to seeing what it turns into...
All (well, most) feedback greatly appreciated.

I will also be part of Bernie Dieter's Little Death Club, a magnificent Weimar-styled cabaret show at Underbelly's Circus Hub on The Meadows, 8pm-9pm every night. There's incredible aerial, fire-breathing, contortion and singing. I'll be dressing up as a Frenchman and talking.

THE GREAT BIG CABARET F*CKABOUT
A rare scratch night for cabaret artistes, trying out new concepts, rarely-performed routines and occasionally swapping genres. This is a trial show for what I hope might become a regular thing.
