Fat Joke — Comedy, Storytelling & Radical Truth

Get ready for a bold, hilarious, and deeply provocative evening: Fat Joke, a one‑person show by Cheyenne Rouleau, comes to the Kingston Grand Theatre on November 6, 2025, at 7:30 PM. This unforgettable performance fuses stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic fact-blasting to cast a spotlight on fatphobia, diet culture, and the ways we police bodies.
In Fat Joke, Rouleau fearlessly tackles a subject often avoided. Using razor-sharp wit and lived experience, she challenges assumptions, confronts stereotypes, and invites audiences to laugh while also questioning deeply held beliefs. Through personal stories, sharp observations, and incisive commentary, she dismantles fat-shaming in all its forms — from medical messaging to everyday judgments.
Critics describe Fat Joke as a powerful mixture of humor and intellectual punch. The show has been staged across Canada, mixing comedic performance with lecture-style insight, drawing comparisons to works like Nanette for its emotional depth and its ability to make audiences rethink what’s “normal.”

Important content notes: Because of its subject matter, Fat Joke contains discussion of fatphobia, diet culture, pregnancy interventions, racism, systemic oppression, sexual violence, and other challenging themes. Rouleau doesn’t back away from the difficult truths — but she brings humor, empathy, and urgency to the conversation.

If you’re curious, uncomfortable, or just ready to be moved and provoked, this is one show you won’t forget. Laugh. Think. Reflect. Unlearn.
