This new tour show will resolve the entire issue once and for all (in a non-patriarchal, open minded, progressive sort of way). DaVinci's Vitruvian Man is the image of the ideal male form.

Josh Berry: Best Man Saturday 22 March 2025
Venue:  Theatre Royal     map
Address:   Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB
Telephone:  Box office: 01962 840440
Event:  Josh Berry: Best Man - 8pm - It's clear what toxic masculinity is, but what does positive masculinity look like in a modern context? Josh Berry intends to provide some sort of answer to this question, through his many impressions and characters, as he tells the tale of being his best friend's best man earlier this year. From routines on how to organise a 'progressive stag do', to the amusing difficulties men seem to face around positive emotional expression, the show is an opportunity for us to have a ruddy good laugh at a concept that could do with being taken a bit less seriously. There's also a routine about how much Josh hates runners and refuses to become one. N.B. Josh has since entered a half marathon.
