Event recommended for 18+

Adelaide Comedian Marc Ryan, better known as The Beautiful Bogan, has been performing stand up comedy for the past 10 years.

With 4 and 1/2 star reviews from The Adelaide fringe shows he has written, Marc has performed alongside Wil Anderson, Adam Hills, Dave Hughes, Fiona O’Laughlin, and toured New Zealand with American comedian Kevin Tate.

However, over the past 4 years Marc has been a mission to use his lived experience of mental illness (PTSD, Depression and Anxiety). He created his own epic tour The Beautiful Bogan vs The Black Dog which entailed 30 gigs in 30 days, from mining camps to a local church, a boxing gym, a skate ramp and many more crazy locations.

HIs aim is to normalise the conversation around mental health and especially let men know they are not alone in their struggle. In recent times Marc has delivered his message of hope to drought communities on Eyre Peninsula and fire ravaged towns on Kangaroo Island.

Marc is not afraid of get vulnerable and open up about his personal demons if it can help another person feel less alone.

His mission is to change one life at a time.
