S1 E2: Should we just 'man up'?

Stand-Up Specials Geoff Norcott's Working Men's Club S1
Episode 2 of 4

Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity, with the help of his audience in Leeds. This week, should we just 鈥榤an up鈥�?

This week, Geoff looks at the sometimes problematic phrase 鈥渕an up". Is it sexist, or is it just shorthand for taking some responsibility for the greater benefit? With the help of his studio audience, Geoff looks at language men need to change.
