Reviews

Original Review:

Over 50, and not ashamed to admit it, Lucero brings a different comic perspective to a stand-up landscape dominated by twenty and thirtysomethings.

Essentially something of a London geezer, Lucero finds himself mellowed by fatherhood and late middle age, venturing tentatively into the unfamiliar and cosseted life of vegetarianism, househusbandry and touchy-feely support groups.

Yet while he's incredulous that there would be any demand for organic mung beans or the like, his spirited discussions on such topics are tempered by the suggestion that he might actually be embracing this soft new world, however reluctantly.

So what could be a standard grumpy-old-man rant against the vagaries of anything newfangled or new age is elevated into something much less expected, thanks, too, to sharp writing and an aversion to the obvious.

His is a well-defined persona, fully rounded and convincing and it's perhaps only a lack of ambition ­ or the demands of fatherhood ­ that mean he's not a damn sight better known.

Lucero certainly has the comic instincts and high-quality material that would shame many a more successful act. So do yourself a favour, and seek him out.

Big night out turned to bad night out - sorry - rubbish compere

punter, September 2007


Talent, skill, material is not enough you fool. This man is not young, fresh faced enough for selection by the media bean-counter fraternity

Micheál O\'Connell, July 2007


A fantastic comic and prolific writer of excellent material. He is overdue a lot of success. This will be Marc's year, he will own it and keep it in the pocket of one of those understated shirts. Watch out for him in Edinburgh.

Jez O'Donnell, March 2006


Why this man isn't much higher up the comedy food chain is a mystery to me. He is total control of his comedy and his audience and if you're a discerning comedy punter you should mark your diary when he's in town.

Dave Parton, March 2006


Marc is wonderful. Subtle, clever, original and a genuine treat every time.

Andrew O'Neill, March 2006


One of the best comperes you will find and a solid funny act. Should be a household name for his shirts, never mind his talent.

John Ryan, March 2006


Mark played Knut's Club in Peterborough. He took hold of the audience and held them for every line - he was great - he is a real comic.

Steve Walker, January 2005


Saw him in a small club over a pub in the West End. There was an audience of about 10 people. Most comics died on their arses. He stormed it. The most enjoyable act I've seen in a long time.
