Full Cream was an award-winning new play about fat pride, kinship, and liberation that I created with my then-housemate, Emily Keagan, as well as Jonathan Graffam-O'Meara & Georgie Wolfe.

We took the show to Melbourne Fringe, Geelong Arts Centre, Bendigo Pride, Radically Soft, A Plus Market, and Perth Fringe.

About the Show

This is a story of two fat queer housemates and the fat joy they found in friendship. It’s a story of chubby chasers and Adele, of jiggling bellies and butter churning, of hookups in UFOs and cock-sucking in Sunbury. It’s a story about what happens when fat people are happy and not the elephant in the room.

Blending verbatim text, devised theatre, and a mukbang, Full Cream imagines a stage where fat people belong. It’s a little slice of utopia served with a side of clotted cream. You’re invited to join the fun, the fiesta, and the feed, and live out your big fat fantasy.

Hold onto your love handles: This is a show for all those who keep track of who’s the fattest in the room, and for all those who are the fattest in the room.
