Very Sad

Fat and Dumb

A part of the Very trilogy – a sharp, auto-ironic performance inspired by Schubert’s Winterreise. It takes the form of a 'sit-up' show, because standing up is tiring already. Blending music, brutal honesty and dark humour, the performers explore aging bodies, psychophysical exhaustion, illnesses and the slow comedy of falling apart. Echoing the melancholy journey of Schubert’s song cycle, Very Sad turns vulnerability into punchlines and fatigue into rhythm. It’s intimate, absurd and strangely uplifting: very sad, and therefore very funny.

    Very Cheap

    A part of the Very trilogy, Very Cheap is a dazzling cabaret-philosophical ride about capitalism and the price of art. Fat and Dumb boldly compare creating art to sex work, exposing how both are shaped by performance, demand and the elusive promise of “authenticity.” With sharp humour and theatrical flair, they explore desire, value, and what it really means to sell yourself in a system that turns talent, emotions, even the body – into a commodity. Playful, biting and deeply relevant, Very Cheap makes you laugh while questioning the cost of creativity in today’s market-driven world.

    Very Funny

    A bold, hilarious performance and a key part of Fat and Dumb’s Very trilogy. Stepping into the shoes of Shakespearean fools, they mix clowning, contemporary performance and self-ironic humour to tear apart the fantasy of the artist-genius. With their own bodies and careers as the battleground, they expose stereotypes, ambition, insecurity and the absurd pressures of artistic success. At once playful and brutally honest, Very Funny turns laughter into a tool for reflection – revealing what it really means to create, perform and survive in today’s art world.
