Not a day that goes by that I don’t think, plan or imagine taking my own life, not a day.”

Adelaide comedian, Marc Ryan, better known as the Beautiful Bogan, fuses his own childhood trauma with comedy in his stand-up gigs, revealing himself as an unassuming mental health advocate to his audience. He speaks from the heart- from his lived experience with depression and PTSD, chipping down the invisible walls imprisoning both men and women in their own abyss of unspoken, unresolved, or misunderstood grief.

Ryan, who has been performing for over a decade, began unpacking his mental health struggles in his stand up when he realised he wasn’t alone in his experiences.
