Rachel Stockdale: Fat Chance

Until Wed 24 Apr View Venues, Dates & Times

As a plus-sized northern female, Rachel Stockdale was told there was fat chance she’d ever fulfill her dream of making a living from acting. “You’re northern, you’re fat and you’re a woman,” one casting director kindly pointed out. “You can only be two out of three to make it in this industry.” 

Fortunately for her rapidly expanding fanbase, Rachel ignored the negative voices. Instead, she followed her dream, creating a show which, having made a significant splash in Edinburgh last summer, is very likely to do exactly the same when she brings it to Birmingham late this month. 

As well as exploring the twentysomething Teesider’s true-life experience of weight gain, from size eight to size 18, the one-woman production also sees Rachel talking about her ongoing efforts to make it big in the rough, tough world of showbiz.
