Marcus Brigstocke has announced a 2025 tour.

Beginning in February, his new stand-up show, Vitruvian Mango, examines men and masculinity.

Blurb explains: "What are men for? Most heavy things can be lifted by machines and most problems can be solved by computers and most puddles can be crossed without us gallantly draping our capes over them - so are we fellas of any use at all?

"Award winning MAN Marcus Brigstocke thinks we might still serve some useful function. But what is it? In this show, Marcus resolves the entire issue once and for all (in a non-patriarchal, open minded, progressive sort of way).

"Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man is the image of the ideal male form. Marcus's Vitruvian Mango is the same, but sweeter, softer, seasonally available and, when ripe, delicately perfumed."

Tickets are now available
