Yes! Erica Watson is a FAT BITCH! But society made her this way.

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 Erica's shape, and includes her interactions with men, from the boardroom to the bedroom.

Written and performed by 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 discusses stereotypical images from “Mammy” to the “Hottentot Venus.” The production runs about 90 minutes without intermission, and is for ages 18 and up (some limited profanity in show).

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. How these media images have impacted Watson’s self-esteem are covered - from PETA’s recent “Save the Whales” billboard campaign aimed at overweight women, to the current national “war on obesity” and the recent controversy surrounding President Obama’s nomination of a plus-sized black woman for Surgeon General.
