Erica Watson is returning to the Big Apple with her one-woman comedy show Fat Bitch. The last time she was in town we gave away two pairs of tickets to opening night and we’re doing it again!

In case you missed it the first time, Erica Watson is bringing her one-woman show Fat Bitch back to NYC. She’s curses, she’s super funny and she’s coming for your spot Sandra (and Margret and John while we’re at it.)

You have to go see Fat Bitch! Erica Watson created a one woman comedy show which takes a hilarious look at her inner and outer self.

“That fat bitch” (as she often refers to herself) takes you through her personal experiences and encounters while uniquely weaving the message: “see you for who YOU really are…… don’t let people put you in a box.”

I was pleasantly surprised with this show. Based on the title, I thought it would be a “big” girl on stage making jokes about “skinny girls”. I definitely fall into the “skinny girl” category so I was ready for the abuse. After the first 20 minutes I realized it wasn’t going to be the classic big vs skinny battle.

Not only is this show packed with raw comedy (she’s not afraid to curse, which is awesome) and honesty, it has experiences everyone can relate to, as we all have insecurities and embarrassing moments regardless of age, race, or weight.

I thoroughly enjoyed Fat Bitch and the closing video left me bent over laughing in tears, literally! Erica I NEED a copy of that clip!

“Fat Bitch!” is a funny yet thought-provoking look at how society’s obsession with weight, race and class have formed the way the world views her shape, and includes her interactions with men, from the boardroom to the bedroom.

Written and performed by Erica 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.”

Through personal vignettes, anecdotes and video clips, “Fat Bitch!” also offers a humorous and honest glimpse at the American “fat and sassy” black woman stereotype.

The production runs about 90 minutes without intermission, and is for ages 18 and up (some limited profanity in show).
