A Night of Comedy with Erica Watson
Chicago native and Columbia College alumna Erica Watson returns to town with Fat Bitch!, her hilarious, yet provocative one-woman show about stereotypes about race, weight, and images in society. Watson, a stand-up comedienne and actress, has appeared in numerous specials on Black Entertainment Television (BET), NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and was in the Oscar-nominated film, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.
She has received critical acclaim for Fat Bitch!, including an award nomination for "Best Solo Performance" this year from the Chicago's Black Theater Alliance Awards, Inc. and the show being featured next month for Target's "First Saturdays" at the Brooklyn Museum.
