Marcel Lucont, portrayed by Alexis Dubus, made his acclaimed debut in 2009 with ‘Marcel Lucont: Sexual Metro’ at the Edinburgh Fringe, a performance that earned him the prestigious Best Comedy Individual Award at Buxton Fringe. This breakthrough followed a foundational period during which Alexis Dubus established himself in the British comedy scene. In 2003, he co-founded the successful Falling Down With Laughter Comedy Club in London Bridge, which thrived until 2010 and became a notable venue for alternative comedy. Further honing his performance expertise, Dubus undertook intensive training in Le Jeu and Clowning at the renowned École Philippe Gaulier under Philippe Gaulier himself.
His consistently innovative live performances continued to garner accolades, with his show ‘Marcel Lucont: No. Dix’ being distinguished as a top ten comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, underscoring his enduring presence among the festival’s most lauded acts. Dubus’s most recent venture under the Marcel Lucont moniker was the album ‘For A Captive Audience,’ released in 2021, which reinforced his reputation as a multi-talented artist whose work resonates across various mediums within the comedy and entertainment landscape.
