You may be familiar with comedian, actor, director and commentator Erica Watson and if not, you should! She’s appeared on the Oxygen Network and BET. Now she’s returning to her hometown Chicago, IL with the one woman show “Fat Bitch”.
Running five nights, “Fat Bitch” addresses some very serious issues in a fun and witty way. From society’s obsession with weight, race and class to how these obsessions are depicted in the media, Erica covers it all. Written and performed by Watson as a hybrid of theatre and stand-up, “Fat Bitch!” explores how black women and their bodies have always been subjected to admiration and ridicule, and shares images of “Mammy” and “Hottentot Venus.”
The production runs about 90 minutes without intermission, and is for ages 18 and up (some limited profanity in show). Erica Watson who is in the upcoming film “Precious” with Mo’Nique and Gabby Sidibe creates a universal point of view yet offers a new voice in comedy.
