Marc Herman, whose real name is Marc Maloens, is a Belgian humorist born in Leuven in 1947. Marc Herman's talents were discovered by French-speaking viewers from 1981 in TV programmes such as Le festival international du rire de Rochefort (RTBF), Zygomaticorama (RTBF), La Classe (France 3), Y en aura pour tout le monde (RTL-TVI), or Bon Week-end (RTBF). 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 (especially the tennis lesson, or the ski vacation in Stuuût 2, or the broken-down washing machine in the first show). 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. Source: Article "Marc Herman" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
