This year, though, he’s doing things a little differently: he’s raising money for Refuge at the same time – and he’s already at 82% of his target, with a cool £41,117 in the bank for the women’s charity (at the time of writing).

Writing on his JustGiving page, Herring explains: “Every International Women’s Day, I go on Twitter to search for people asking, ‘When’s International Men’s Day?’ to let them know that that is on November 19th.

“Weirdly most of them only seem to care about this on International Women’s Day, and, when November 19th, comes along they do nothing.”

The comedian adds: “I do this so that everyone else can get on with celebrating International Women’s Day and using it to raise awareness of the issues that affect women. And trying to achieve equality… [so] I thought this year it would be nice if we raised some money along the way, to turn stupid or negative comments by people who don’t understand how to google into something that will be positive and helpful.”

Show this to every single idiot asking “When’s International Men’s Day?”
