About this show
A punchline-heavy stand-up hour about how fat men are portrayed in film, TV and comedy – and what that does to you, when you grow up inside those stories. From wheezing sidekicks and cautionary tales, to sexless best friends, Stuart Thomas dismantles the cliches with sharp writing and high-energy delivery. This isn’t a lecture – it’s a mischievous, joke-dense show about taking up space unapologetically. 'Made me laugh a lot' (Kate Copstick, Scotsman). Finalist: Beat the Frog World Series.
