French comedian, Marcel Lucont, joins the line-up for the next Luxembourg English Comedy Showcase, alongside British-American comedian Ria Lina and three local talents for an evening dedicated to laughing, in English at the Brassserie Marionette on Saturday 25 February. 

Marcel Lucont is the French alter-ego of award-winning, alternative British comic, Alexis Dubus, who has appeared on Russel Howard's Good News, BBC1's TV Christmas Special 2014, and over a dozen shows at Edinburgh Fringe and plenty more. 

Ria Lina won an EMMA Award for best comedienne in 2003 and, incidentally, also has a PhD, is best known for her dry wit and bawdy ukulele songs.

From Luxembourg, Alex Monteiro of Portugal, and Corina Dumitrescu and Oana Marangoci from Romania will take to the stage. 

The shows will be at 19:00 and 21:15. The early show will incorporate more dinner and show tables, while the later session will have limited eating spots and more show seats.

Tickets are €20 in advance (€37 for two) and €25 at the door. Advance bookings can be made by email to luxpromo2017@internationalcomedians.com. Booking in advance is recommended. 

Diners are advised to to reserve a table through the restaurant for between 17:30 and 18:30 to ensure food orders are in before the 19:00 show and to book for 20:50 to ensure orders are in for the 21:15 show.
