About Mario Adrion
Mario Adrion: Live a Little is a stand-up comedy show performed at Attic. The show follows a boy from a picturesque German town who leaves everything behind to become an international fashion model, armed with a need for approval. Mario navigates the chaos of pseudo professional relationships, the European runway, and sketchy modelling gigs, facing unhealthy power dynamics, constant rejection, and significant sexual abuse within the industry. The show explores themes of self-love, the need for acceptance, and grappling with sexual trauma from a male perspective. It is described as a story about being hot — and sad. The show runs 60 minutes, is for audiences aged 16 and over, and tickets start from £8.
