Comedian and suicide prevention advocate Marc Ryan, known as ‘The Beautiful Bogan,’ is on a mission to transform the conversation surrounding mental illness, through laughter and personal storytelling.

To help normalise conversations about mental health, Murray PHN is funding free community events for people to come and hear from Marc as he shares his experiences of post-traumatic stress disorder and living with thoughts of suicide.

With alarming statistics indicating that seven men and two women take their own lives every day in Australia, Marc’s goal is to encourage others to seek help and to remind them they are not alone in their struggles.

Please note the performance will contain strong language and discuss living with thoughts of suicide and therefore is suitable for audiences aged 18 and older. More events and promotional videos are in planning, with information to be shared soon on our social platforms – we’d be grateful if you could share these with your networks.
