Fat Joke

Show Info

“As a fat person, I never thought of myself as “sexy.” Society never allowed me to. It just wasn’t in my cards. So I got funny.” – Cheyenne Rouleau

A fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic fact-blasting, Fat Joke thrusts fatphobia into the spotlight. Cheyenne Rouleau surgically dissects this seldom-discussed subject with a razor-sharp wit that leaves the audience confronting their assumptions. Brace yourself for a social commentary that challenges conventions, sparks crucial conversations, and keeps you laughing in the process.

UPCOMING PRESENTATIONS:

• Tidemark Theatre, Campbell River May 2, 2026

“Rouleau is a talented comic with excellent timing, and a smart writer.”
—Jerry Wasserman, Vancouver Plays

“Rouleau is willing to go there—sometimes to dark, taboo places—and it’s fearless, perspective-shifting stuff, full of big laughs and biting humour.”
— Janet Smith, STIR

“I loved experiencing comedy that directly related to my lived experiences.”
— Carmen la Coquette, Burlesque Performer
