including a moderated talk-back - Fat Joke deals with mental health, sexual assault, and eating disorders.
An unfiltered, hilarious interrogation of fatphobia.
A mixture of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and fact-blasting, Fat Joke puts fatphobia under the spotlight. Drawing upon personal experience and research, comedian, actor, and writer Cheyenne Rouleau dissects this often-untalked-about topic with eviscerating wit. Think: Nanette by Hannah Gadsby meets Inside by Bo Burnham.
This one-person show invites us to confront assumptions. It’s all the stuff people don’t feel comfortable talking about turned into a comedy show!
“As a fat person, I never thought of myself as ‘sexy.’ Society never allowed me to be. So I got funny.”—Cheyenne Rouleau

The Draw
Delivering far more than punchlines, Fat Joke will challenge the way you think about the word ‘fat’!
Don’t miss this new work, written by Cheyenne Rouleau, a co-creator of The After After Party, and produced by Neworld Theatre, the company that brought you Clean/Espejos and The Boy in The Moon.
