WHAT do Brexit talks and the celebrated French comedian Marcel Lucont have in common?
They will both bring lots of people together, in a big room, and leave them feeling even more depressed.
A spokesman - for Marcel, not the Brexit talks - said: "Flâneur, raconteur, bon-viveur, and easily the greatest UK-based French comedian around, Marcel Lucont deigns to entertain the delusional with disdainful stand-up about the hopelessness of their own lives.
"Marcel brings his critically acclaimed Whine List to the baying masses. It is a kind of group therapy session, but one where everybody will probably leave more depressed."
The spokesman added: "Eager to cash in on humanity’s obsessions with narcissistic self-help, Marcel offers his audiences the opportunity to air their gripes, moans and whines in front of a man who has plenty of his own. Precious few solutions will be offered but viewers will be rewarded with readings from Marcel’s memoirs as well as insight into Brexit and the current plight of the British thanks to Marcel’s God-given wisdom. Expect louche musings, deadpan wit and Gallic superiority."
Marcel will be at The Artrix in Bromsgrove on May 26.
