Boys DO Cry: Standup Comedy Open Mic for Men's Mental Health | in English

Boys don't cry, they just drink beer, get fat, and then get hit by a truck. In our society, that's how the majority of men deal with their mental and emotional issues as there still is a stigmatised view regarding men's mental health, only a small portion of them are seeking therapy or any other non-addictive measures to handle their issues.

❓When you were a kid did your mom ever tell you when you got bruised "Stop crying, are you a man or a mouse, it will pass until you get married"? But she never told you what happens if you don't get married.

❓Did the deepest conversation with your father sound like this "Pass me the beer"

❓Are you still afraid to wear pink because you won't be macho anymore?

⬆️ If you answered yes to any of those questions then you arrived at the right place.

Come and join us for an open mic where you can watch a curated line-up of the diverse male comedians in Berlin, witness them as they try to knock down toxic masculinity by being vulnerable, delving into their innermost feelings, all of this with a smile on their face and most importantly with plenty of jokes.

This event is part of Berlin Mental Health Festival.
