Boys' Club

On his 2022 single “Easier to Shout”, rapper Alick Mac offered a self-reflective yet holistic critique of modern masculinity, blending personal experience with social commentary. Following the re-election of Donald Trump and the rise of the online manosphere, Alick delves further into his examination of masculinity with "Boys' Club". In a show that placed second as the 2025 Nanaimo "Pick of the Fringe", Alick mixes personal anecdotes and original songs to offer reflections on misogyny, mental health and masculinity. Described by Yvette Dudley-Neuman - the Nanaimo Fringe Artistic Producer - as “timely, powerful and socially resonant”, Alick muses on everything from the dangers of Deepfake technology to male friendship dynamics. Delivering an urgent and timely message, “Boys’ Club” takes stock of a bleak present while offering an aspirational vision of the future.
