However, there have been calls for an international day since the 1960s. Each year, there is a specific international theme.
This year, it is ‘Celebrating Men and Boys’.
Additionally, there are three overarching core themes that the UK maintain every year to maximise participation. They are:

As an international event, the Men’s Day initiative has six key pillars:
The movement’s organisers highlight that the event works in tandem with International Women’s Day towards gender equality.
THERE’S £1500 TO BE WON IN THE SESSION ROOM EVERY EVENING
The day seeks to remove stigmas and provoke discussions on subjects traditionally deemed taboo for men to talk about.
In honour of International Men’s Day, Sun Bingo has rounded up some of the most iconic male duos from different entertainment sectors.
They promote male friendships, support one another and work together fantastically.
THESE ARE THE BIGGEST WINS IN BINGO HISTORY
If they’d like to celebrate International Men’s Day with Sun Bingo, we’ve got the perfect game suggestions for them.
If you want to be part of an iconic male duo, the place to meet appears to be on TV show sets as that’s how this next pair got their act together.
Zach Braff and Donald Faison met at the first table read of medical comedy show Scrubs, which premiered in 2001.
WANT TO PLAY BINGO FOR FREE? HERE’S HOW
After the first series, they spent a summer living together in New York while working on other projects.
They remained friends even after the show ended in 2010. Ten years later, the pair perfectly encapsulated the nature of their relationship with the name of their podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends.
This was a celebration of Scrubs where the pair spoke to co-stars and producers, told stories of their experiences and shared insider secrets as to how the show was made.

Given that Scrubs played such an important role in bringing these friends together, we’re going to honour the name of the fictitious hospital, Sacred Heart, with this game recommendation.
Hearts & Horns is a 50-payline slot that has five jackpots. They range from Mini (x20) to Grand (x5000). Bet between 50p and £5 for the chance to win.
TRIPLE WHAMMY GAMES HAVE UP TO THREE JACKPOTS TO BE WON
This iconic duo met in either 2010 / 2011 (they disagree when exactly) while getting started on the comedy circuit.
Then, they did the rounds on the panel shows at the same time, appearing on Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You and so on.
They are hugely successful comedians in their own right. However, it is their food comedy podcast Off Menu that cements them as a great example of a male friendship.
10 DELICIOUS SUNNY FOOD AND DRINK RECOMMENDATIONS
The podcast has had nearly 200 million downloads since its launch in December 2018.
Seeing as it was food that highlighted the friendship that these two share, our recommendation should pay tribute to food as well.
This slingo game is also appropriate given Ed’s contributions as a judge on Great British Menu and James’ notorious time on The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.
There are no numbers to dab in Baking Bonanza, instead there are ingredients.

Each of the rows offers a different cash prize, increasing as the difficulty and ingredient list of the recipe increases.

Penn Jillette and Teller are an American magic and comedy duo that have been performing together for 50 years, with their first show having taken place at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival in 1975.
There have been stories that the two don’t talk outside of professional necessity (ironic given that Teller’s act is mute).
However, Penn has discussed how he considers Teller his closest friend, they have comforted each other through grief and their families are close.
I PLAYED THE MAGIC-THEMED SLOT GAMES AT SUN BINGO – WERE THEY PENN & TELLER WORTHY?
At the start of their career, they lived, travelled and worked together. Now, they have an incredibly strong friendship that they say has a foundation of respect, rather than love.
Sun Bingo has a game that honours both their magician and comedian personas: Magic Jokers.
