It’s fat on fat on fat, it’s delicious, It’s human, it’s fat joy, liberation, it’s nourishing, it’s history making. Fat Fables is a collection of poetry, monologue, rants, drag, and big fat love dreaming of a world where we exist beyond our size. We are finally going to be the people we always wanted to see on the stage to feel we are not alone.
We will be seen, heard and celebrated on our own terms.
Fat. Fierce. Soft.
