Fatboy is a black comedy that exposes the grotesque underbelly of human nature in all its hilarious vulgarity. Based on Alfred Jarry's groundbreaking absurdist play Ubu Roi, Fatboy follows its titular character and his wife Fudgie on their bloody journey from the tenement slums to the heights of power. It is a live-action Punch and Judy show, a fast-moving, shocking funhouse-mirror reflection of the world today.
