Fat Blokes

Traverse Theatre

Fat Blokes is a sort of dance show about flab, double chins and getting your kit off in public. It uncovers why fat men are never sexy but are always funny, always the ‘before’ but never the ‘after’ shot. Read more …

Made in collaboration with Lea Anderson and four fat blokes who’ve never done this sort of thing before.

Prepare yourself for a show about pent up aggression, riot grrrl and the hokey cokey.

This is fat rebellion.


The critical consensus

This isn’t brave, it doesn’t want to be. It’s raw and portrayed plainly in front of us. What Fat Blokes is, is angry.

****(*)Dominic Corr, The Reviews Hub, 16/03/2019

A powerful story of rebellion told through dance and spoken word.

****(*)Cath Renton, The Wee Review, 17/03/2019

Fat Blokes, for the most part, is a loud, bold cabaret of spoken word reportage.

****(*)Paul F Cockburn, Broadway Baby, 18/03/2019

What emerges is a show that’s not always smooth, but invariably thrilling.

****(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 19/03/2019

Fat Blokes, Scottee's exploration of society's preconceptions about being fat, is unrelenting with touching and emotive performances.
