I Can't Stand The Man, Myself, a stand-up show from Alexander Bennett, is now available to watch on YouTube.

The blurb explains: "Do you hate yourself? Multi award nominee Alexander Bennett does. It's both incredibly destructive and - fortunately for you - highly entertaining.

"In I Can't Stand The Man, Myself Alexander is now trying to be more sympathetic to the man in the mirror by appraising his past, his body, his mistakes, his achievements, the limits of men's clothing, queerness, online culture, the rental market and Robbie Williams. After acclaimed runs at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe and the Soho Theatre in 2024, the full show is now coming to YouTube.

"This is a show about masculinity, self-esteem, identity, how those things intersect, how they affect men and how those men affect the world, all explored from a personal perspective.

"Join Alexander as he challenges his inner critic, tries to kill it, then comes for yours."

The show - which is dedicated to comedian Gareth Ellis, who died last year - can be watched here:
