The Friendship Recession

The Friendship Recession

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2023

One in six men don't have a single close friend, and more than half wish they had more friends. Why do so many men struggle to make and maintain friendships? Father and son comics Paul and Paul examine the decline of male friendship from differing Gen X and Gen Z perspectives. They look to reverse the trend with lessons from women who seem to manage friendships better, and history's famous friendships, from John and Paul, to Ben and Matt, to the Apostles – who may have followed Jesus just for a chance to hang with the guys.
