Vitruvian Mango

What are men for? Most heavy things can be lifted by machines, most problems – solved by computers and most puddles can be crossed without us draping our capes over them – so are we fellas of any use?

Award-winning man Marcus thinks we might still serve some useful function. But what? This new show will finally resolve the issue (in a non-patriarchal, open-minded, progressive sort of way). DaVinci's Vitruvian Man is the image of the ideal male form.

Marcus' Vitruvian Mango is the same but sweeter, softer, seasonally available and, when ripe, delicately perfumed.

Marcus Brigstocke

Marcus began his comedy career in Bristol whilst studying drama at University and soon won the BBC New Comedian of 1996 at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences both on tour and on the well trodden comedy circuit. The master of satirical comedy, Marcus has proved to be blisteringly funny over a wide range of topics. 'If you haven't seen him live, then you haven't seen him at his very best' (The Daily Mirror) 'Rare is the stand-up show that makes you laugh, think and then fight back the tears. This is it' (The Daily Telegraph).
