I’ve been working on my first ever solo spoken word theatre show for over a year – a very personal narrative about radical body love, fatness, exercise, feminism, and joy. It’s been quite a ride getting it to the point where other humans get to see it (though my cat has seen it in all its iterations…). Last month I got to debut it as part of the wonderful Flint & Pitch Presents… series at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.

It was one of the most challenging, vulnerable things I’ve ever done. It was amazing and terrifying and liberating to speak about fat activism and bodies and exercise in such a personal way. On the night, the show sold out, and I was totally overwhelmed by all the support and love – and I had so much fun on that stage!
