Dat(e)ing for Fat People

A live Tinder profile to entice you to a date with a man. That man is fat.

Can he hide the truth from his date? Will the date go successfully even with his large body?

Join Ben as he explores fat attractiveness and the pressure to impress a date, knowing his body is one that comes with many expectations; not many of those expectations are good.

Then join Ben for a one-to-one speed date…

This 121 performance, delivered in a date format, invited the audience to feed into their bodily desires and feed them to Ben. Throughout the date, audiences were invited to feed Ben dates, and talk about their relationship with their bodies, their belly, and how health at every size could affect them

This work has been shown at 

Contact Theatre, Social Experiment (2025)

Ben is currently looking for more opportunities to develop and present this piece of work
