About Fat and Dumb
Very Funny is a performance by Fat and Dumb, billed as a key part of their Very trilogy. Stepping into the shoes of Shakespearean fools, the company mixes clowning, contemporary performance and self-ironic humour to dismantle the myth of the artist-genius. Using their own bodies and careers as the battleground, they expose stereotypes, ambition, insecurity and the absurd pressures of artistic success. Playful and brutally honest, the show turns laughter into a tool for reflection. Contains audience participation, nudity and strong language. For adults only.
Why see this show?
Fat and Dumb take the pressure cooker of artistic ambition and make it hilarious and honest. This is theatre that laughs at itself — and at us — with real intelligence behind the clowning.
