Don’t miss this incredible show that’s equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking, January 31 – February 2, 2025 at Anvil Theatre!
A fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic truth-telling, Fat Joke throws fatphobia into the spotlight.
Vancouver playwright Cheyenne Rouleau wields razor-sharp wit to dissect this often-ignored topic, leaving audiences questioning their assumptions—and laughing along the way.
Produced by Neworld Theatre and directed by Chelsea Haberlin, Fat Joke is unfiltered, bold, and guaranteed to leave you hungry for more. This is social commentary at its sharpest: it challenges conventions, sparks vital conversations, and keeps you entertained from start to finish.
“…full of big laughs and biting humour” — Janet Smith, Stir
