"FAT!
That's what I'm making a show about. My fat. Your fat, maybe. Fat. I've been fat for a long time now, and I thought I was fat, even when I wasn't, and as such, I've been thinking about fat for even longer. So I made a show about it. Our bodies and egos are fragile, our ways of talking about them inadequate, so I can understand that you might not be up for talking about fat for an hour. So I'll make you some promises:
- I promise to tell the truth.*
- I promise to make it funny.*
- I promise you won't get any mess on your nice clothes.*
- I promise not to talk about anorexia, bulimia, fat acceptance, the beauty myth, feminism, the fashion industry, weight loss, the diet industry, discrepancies between the European ideal of beauty and the Afro Carribbean ideal of beauty, girls being bitchy to other girls, how men feel about their body, about how you should feel about your body. *
- I promise that your body is a Wonderland (copyright John Mayer) and so is mine.
*I can't guarantee that any of these promises will be kept.?
p.s. Bring Snacks."
