‘Bad Fatty' stand-up comedy show comes to Brighton Fringe

A hilarious exploration of life as a fat Welshman, Stuart blends his working-class roots with a modern, no-nonsense approach to comedy that is both thought-provoking and outrageously funny.

In "Bad Fatty" Stuart grabs diet culture by the scruff of the neck, exposing society’s

absurd expectations of fat people with a blend of biting wit and heartfelt humour. From his upbringing on a sheep farm in Wales to navigating the intersections of body image, sexuality, and mental health, Stuart turns his personal experiences into an extraordinary comedy show.

Stuart Thomas isn’t afraid to tackle the big stuff. Bisexual and open about his mental health struggles, he masterfully combines vulnerability with laugh-out-loud moments, flipping fat-shaming on its head and turning it into a celebration of self-acceptance and joy. His candid, no-prisoners approach to stand-up comedy leaves audiences inspired and in stitches.

Don’t miss this bold and hilarious work-in-progress show that proves being a "bad fatty" is nothing short of spectacular.
