After a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Mitzi's bringing Big Fat Cab back to its roots, just in time to celebrate its first anniversary!
Fronted by the unhinged Mitzi Fitz, this is a big rowdy knees-up of a cabaret for everyone who couldn't quite squidge themselves into the box they were handed by society (and their friends, lovers and allies).
Feat. the best large,* plump,* chubby,* heavy-set,* plus-sized,* queen-sized,* above-average,* fluffy,* curvy,* rubenesque,* husky,* full-bodied* drag, burlesque, comedy, theatre and performance art this side of the Venus of Willendorf.
*fat.
Expect:
Belly laughs & belly rolls; soft wholesome punk anarchy; a firm “no thank you” to decency and civility; leaving the gender binary and other heterosexual nonsense at the door; the best hugs in the whole world; the entirety of La Vie Boheme from Rent; fat liberation not body positivity; and sheer fucking fat talent.
- 7pm - 8pm | Happy Hour (£4 pints. An absolute steal)
- 8pm - 10pm | Cabaret (with two intervals)
- 10pm - 12am | Afterparty (absolute bangers and wall-to-wall fat queer joy)

**This event has a policy of no one turned away for lack of means. If you cannot currently afford the price of a ticket, get in touch and we'll get you sorted out!
