Ever wondered what the point of men are these days? That’s what comedian Marcus Brigstocke is asking in his 2025 tour, Vitruvian Mango. And it’s not just a stand-up show – it’s a funny and thoughty exploration of masculinity, modern life and apparently mangoes.
Marcus will be touring the UK with stops in Leicester, Milton Keynes, London and more. If you like your comedy smart, satirical and relatable you’ll want to book for February 2025.
What’s the Mango?
You’ve seen Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, right? That famous sketch of the “ideal” male proportions? Marcus has taken that concept and given it a fruity twist – literally. He describes his “Vitruvian Mango” as the softer, sweeter version of ideal masculinity: ripe when it’s ready, a bit squishy and definitely less complicated. It’s a funny way of asking, “What are men actually for?
