Anvil Theatre presents Neworld Theatre’s production Fat Girl, created and performed by Cheyenne Rouleau, on January 31 and February 1 at 7:30 pm and February 2 at 2 pm.

A fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic fact-blasting, Fat Joke thrusts fatphobia into the spotlight. Rouleau dissects this seldom-discussed subject with a razor-sharp wit that will leave audiences confronting their assumptions.

Directed by Chelsea Haberlin with dramaturgy by Jiv Parasram, this one-woman show offers social commentary that challenges conventions, sparks crucial conversations, and keeps viewers laughing in the process. It incorporates set design by Jenn Stewart, sound design by Mary Jane Coomber, and projection design by Andie Lloyd.

Fat Joke’s original production was supported by the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, the Province of British Columbia, the Canada Council for the Arts, Rumble Theatre, and Hamber Foundation.

There will be cabaret-style seating with accessible seating options. Purchase tickets at Anvil Theatre.
