This Franco-British nomad with an American green card knows no borders: both with his neurotic oft-taboo approach to comedy, and literally, by sporadically gigging all over the world in various languages. He belongs nowhere. He is an alien. Maybe it's time for him to leave this planet. 'Provides a constant frisson of energy with sparky, thoughts about international traits, learning foreign languages and even touching on mental illness with his loose, animated style.' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Delightfully weird' **** (Time Out). 'Definitely one to catch' **** (Daily Express). **** (ThreeWeeks). **** (Skinny).

Seven questions with... Eric Lampaert

Recognisable from television shows such as Impractical Jokers and The Midnight Beast, Eric Lampaert is preparing to bring his latest hour, Alien of Extraordinary Ability, to Edinburgh. This new show explores how the comic views his place in society, and the world as a wider notion. Lampaert's act is a fascinating culmination of cultures, drawing on influences from different corners of the globe and performing in multiple languages.
