It's set to be a barrel of laughs at Baycourt Theatre on Wednesday.

The 2degrees Comedy Convoy will be in Tauranga with a world class line-up.

‘French flânuer' Marcel Lucont will be hosting the night.

There's Kiwi comedian and two-time Fred Award finalist Jamie Bowen, American cowboy Wilson Dixon, English comedienne Angela Barnes, who Sarah Millican rates as 'brilliantly funny” and witty Welshman Lloyd Langford.

The evening will be hosted by French flânuer and lover of Marlborough's wine, Marcel Lucont.

'How's the weather in Tauranga?” asks Marcel. His question comes just after a lunchtime downpour last week. 'Ah, make it go, however you can!” he pleads when he hears of the rain.

Marcel will be hosting the evening and is confident he will be 'first rate”.

'It's just a guarantee. I will ensure my sections of the show are quality and never be below 110 per cent.

'No one has ever been disappointed.”

Believe it or not but modest Marcel is actually Englishman Alex Dubus's alter-ego. But he wasn't keen to give anything away.

'No, I don't know what's occurring here. He is an imposter. There are many things that look like other things – the fejoa looks a little bit like an avocado, don't you think?”

The evening will take place at Baycourt Theatre from 8pm on Wednesday.

Tickets are available through Ticketek.
