You are cordially invited to a dinner party hosted by three fat women to "celebrate" one’s decision to lose weight. Join us for a "delicious" five course "meal" confronting diet culture, fatphobia, and what it’s really like to be a fat woman in the age of Ozempic.
Co-presented with Cannonball and a part of the 2024 Philadelphia Fringe Festival
