Anvil Theatre Presents a Neworld Theatre Production

A fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic fact-blasting, Fat Joke thrusts fatphobia into the spotlight.

Cheyenne Rouleau surgically dissects this seldom-discussed subject with a razor-sharp wit that leaves the audience confronting their assumptions.

Brace yourself for a social commentary that challenges conventions, sparks crucial conversations, and keeps you laughing in the process.

Original production supported by The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, the Province of British Columbia, the Canada Council for the Arts, Rumble Theatre, and Hamber Foundation.

Content Warning: This show contains significant discussion of fatphobia and diet culture. Additionally, it contains sensitive themes, including depictions of child predators and mentions of abortions, complicated pregnancies, cannibalism, misogyny, slavery, eugenics, racism, systemic oppression, and sexual assault. And it’s really funny. Promise.
