Fat Bitch! at Stage 773

"When I decided to call this show Fat B*tch!, a lot of people were offended," says comedian Erica Watson, "especially other fat b*tches." But for Watson it's a term she can't escape. If she doesn't return a man's attention on the street, she hears those two words. If she bumps into a skinny woman in a club, it happens again. Watson explores society's obsession with weight in her one-woman show and looks at how black women's bodies in particular have always been objects of admiration and ridicule. The show is a mix of personal anecdotes and video clips, and Watson's message is provocative, yet hilarious.
