Daisy has been working with solo artist
Katie Greenall since 2018, first on FATTY FAT FAT, which toured the UK after a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run, with accompanying engagement project THE FAT SUMMIT. Katie's second solo show, BLUBBER, is currently touring the South East of England.
BLUBBER
​
‘In the beginning, Katie and Body were best friends. In the beginning, Katie and Body were infinite with possibilities…’
​
Katie’s taken up synchronised swimming. She’s buoyant and beautiful, but it’s a lot harder than they thought. When the promise of campy fun and liberation fails to materialise, Katie feels further from her body than ever before.
​
Join Katie and Body on their quest traversing forgiveness, beauty and whales as they ask: what does care look like for a fat body?
​
Award-winning artist Katie Greenall and The Hale’s new show takes audiences on a joyous journey of storytelling, ebbing and flowing to explore what placing kindness and care first can look like.

FATTY FAT FAT
Ever feel like your body takes up too much space in a world that doesn't want to make any room? Katie is fat. Pretty much always been fat, and will be fat forever.
FATTY FAT FAT is a funny, frank and provocative solo show about
living in a body the world tells you to hate. Leave your diet books at the door.
​
FATTY FAT FAT was developed with support from The Yard Theatre,
Nuffield Southampton, Roundhouse and Arts Council England.
FATTY FAT FAT (FFF) debuted at VAULT Festival in 2019 where it won the VAULTS Origins Award for Outstanding New Work. FFF has been performed over 50 times across the UK, including a sold-out 5* run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

FAT SUMMIT
As part of an ongoing commitment to using FATTY FAT FAT as a platform for Fat Activism, we launched the FAT SUMMIT, a paid opportunity for fat folks to create community and to use the show as a platform for their own activism.
​
We held the first meeting on 29th February 2020 at the Southbank Centre- you can watch a short film we made about it below.
