Fat Blokes is a sort of dance show about flab, double chins and getting your kit off in public - made by artist and forward facing fatso, Scottee. Fat Blokes uncovers why fat men are never sexy but are always funny, always the ‘before’ but never the ‘after’ shot. Made in collaboration with Lea Anderson and four fat blokes who’ve never done this sort of thing before. This is fat rebellion. “Scottee’s work often comes in camouflage. Its flippancy conceals its fight. It’s how he reaches people.” The Guardian

Griffith has always been determined to remain independent from a very young age and then ‘left home’ at 33 where he rented a tiny bedsit flat with a garage.

FRANCESCA MARTINEZ ‘WHAT THE **** IS NORMAL?!’ Fri 23 Nov |8:30pm £16.50 (£12.50 Conc) | Unity 1 What happens when you’re branded ‘abnormal’, in a world obsessed with normality? This show is Francesca’s defiant, insightful and fascinating answer... Intrigued by the power that a six-letter word has over so many people, Award-winning Francesca Martinez shares her own life-changing journey of growing up as ‘abnormal’, being rescued from High-School-Hell by Grange Hill, letting Ricky Gervais take the piss out of her walk in Extras and working out what to say to the BBC after being offered the role of a, ahem, vegetable. Whatever body you’re born into, it seems that most people share the universal desire to be ‘normal’. This show is for anyone who’s ever struggled to fit in, felt ‘different’ or wondered what the **** normal means? Apart from a cycle on a washing machine, of course.
LAURENCE CLARK: AN IRRESPONSIBLE FATHER’S GUIDE TO PARENTING SUPPORTED ARTIST
Sat 24 Nov | 8:30pm £12.50 (£10.50 Conc) | Unity 1
Growing up Laurence never saw Dads with cerebral palsy; which made him think he’d never be a parent himself. Besides, the only thing he’d ever managed to look after was a cactus, and even that died from dehydration. If Laurence is an irresponsible father then it’s nothing to do with being disabled! It’s probably more to do with balancing his wife’s crutches on his son’s baby walker to make him look like a Dalek! Laurence starred in BBC1’s documentary We Won’t Drop the Baby.
