Marcel Lucont

Devilishly handsome and devastatingly disdainful, Lucont is the exquisitely crafted nom de plume of Buckinghamshire-born Alexis Dubus. Lucont has written many self-acclaimed books and has been awarded several self-awarded awards. Few comedians carry off the supremely arrogant but, with his laconic, lacerated barbs, the French flaneur translates even the average British weather gag into a sophisticated, sardonic assertion of his immodest and defensible superiority.
