Marc Herman


Marc Herman, whose real name is Marc Maloens, is a Belgian humorist born in Leuven in 1947.

Biography

In 1997 he adopted the "stand-up" style and played a good-natured and slightly clumsy Fleming who relates us the every-day life of the average people, but which experienced by the humorist become sketches. For this character he uses the name "Luc Dierrieckx". For this show he talked with a very pronounced Flemish accent, which he would keep a bit in the following Stuuûts but less and less pronounced. As the Stuuûts go by, he changed from a bit stupid character to an uncomplicated and honest person closer to the average, going so far as to put Raoul in his place as an actor in some sketches in some compilations of the Stuuût.
His recurrent characters are his wife Wolleke and his brother-in-law Raoul and his wife Roseline. From the Stuuût 6 another character appears, Raoul's brother called Rahoul. In his first show there was also Sacha.

The Stuuûts

The main characters

  • Madeleine : Marc's wife.
  • Raoul: His brother-in-law, stupid but kind and always ready to help. He has a very important place in the shows.
  • Roseline: Raoul's wife and Wolleke's half-sister, she is sour, stingy, insincere and violent.
  • Roseline's mother : She is worse than Roseline. Raoul and Roseline lived with her at the beginning of their marriage.
  • Rahoul: Raoul's brother. The "H" was added when the parents had to declare his birth in the office of Mayor to not mix up with his elder brother. Orally he is called "Rachoul". He is the exact copy of Raoul.
