Stuart Thomas: Bad Fatty @ Buxton Fringe

Stuart Thomas returns with Bad Fatty, a bold, fast-paced stand-up show from a slightly chaotic Welsh man who’s done being polite about how the world sees fat people. Stuart tears into the clichés and lazy stereotypes—especially the way fat men get flattened into the wheezing sidekick, the punchline, or the cautionary tale. He’s had enough, and he’s taking no prisoners.
Alongside the big stuff, Stuart dives into the simple joys that keep him going—most importantly, his undying love for Premier Inn. The purple haven. The land of perfect pillows, identical hallways, and a breakfast buffet that feels like a hug. It’s not glamorous, but God it’s good.
Unapologetic and buzzing with energy, Stuart unpacks what it means to live joyfully in a body the world loves to misunderstand. Bad Fatty is funny, fiery, and full of bite—a celebration of refusing to shrink yourself just to make other people comfortable.
