Get ready for a hilarious family experience like no other, presented in the form of a GAMESHOW! Hold on – whaaaat?!

After winning Best Kids Show 2022 at the UK Kids Comedy Festival, fantastically funny comedian Marcel Lucont returns, bringing his popular game show for families, Les Enfants Terribles, or, en Anglais – A Gameshow for Awful Children, to Z-arts, Manchester this October half-term.

Perfect for children aged 6-12 and their grownups, this hilarious show is all about interaction, as the youngest audience members compete to see who can be the most delightfully ‘awful’ child, and Marcel’s one-of-a-kind humour guides a series of laugh-out-loud tasks that the whole family can enjoy – yes, you too, grownups!

Described by The Guardian as “fresh, accessible and hilarious”, and by the British Comedy Guide as, “very funny, quick-witted and exceedingly sharp”, this is truly an experience that will have the whole audience laughing out loud from the moment they enter the room to well after they leave, and will create memories and ‘had to be there moments’ that will last a long time.

Marcel Lucont has been touring internationally for over 15 years, receiving glowing reviews for his critically-acclaimed performances at festivals such as the Melbourne Comedy Festival, New Zealand Comedy Festival, and Cape Town Fringe.

Don’t miss out on this family-friendly event. A Gameshow for Awful Children at Z-arts takes place on Saturday 26 October.
