The Gallic misanthropist Marcel Lucont saunters back to ALSO to host another wild soirée in the Dining Tent, which becomes a Parisian bistro for the night.
Imagine the Parisienne you - heading out to your local bustling French brasserie on the corner of your arrondissement. Oh yes. Then settle in for a night of smart, surreal cabaret, comedy and music, hosted by the flâneur, raconteur and bon viveur, presenting his signature blend of deadpan wit and delightful absurdity.
Très ALSO.
