Frenchy - The Instigator

Comedy doesn’t exist without an instigator.

Good thing Frenchy is here to provide one as he returns to the stage with a brand new show featuring his finest, cheekiest work yet.

“The Instigator” is everything fans love about a Frenchy show – razor-sharp jokes, dark one-liners, wild stories and unpredictable, laugh-out-loud moments which’ll have you thinking “he can’t say that”. He can, and will. And will again.

Social media menace Frenchy initially gained a following via his viral sketches but it’s his unforgettable live shows & lightning fast ‘crowd work’ which has audiences all over the world flocking to see him perform.

He spends years writing, performing and perfecting his jokes but the ad-lib is where Frenchy aka ‘the instigator’ really shines. Sometimes he’s instigating the crowd – sometimes they’re instigating him – either way when Frenchy starts riffing it’s always world class & highly memorable.

Unpredictable, unfiltered and unmistakably Frenchy – “The Instigator” is a comedy show which guarantees one thing: You’ll never know what’s coming next.
