TOO FAT FOR CHINA follows Phoebe Potts, comic storyteller and professional Jew, as she tries, fails and eventually succeeds to adopt a baby. After a US adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as a middle class white lady in the business of adopting babies in the US and internationally. Potts’ tragicomic journey is about looking for more, more love, more life and more family and will do anything to get it, including having her morals and values fold in on themselves.

Potts comes to the stage armed with a larger than life hand cranked scroll of her own comic strips featuring the newsreel in her head. After a wave of sold out performances at Gloucester Stage Company, The Modern Theatre of Suffolk, and Watertown’s Mosesian Center for the Arts, Phoebe made her way to the Historic Fringe Festival of Scotland where Too Fat received stellar reviews for it’s 15 performances.

Phoebe recently took Too Fat for China to the United Solo Show Festival on Broadway in NYC where it won “Best Storytelling Show” for 2023.
