During 2024 and 2025, I brought a compilation show called Chonk to the Edinburgh Fringe. Chonk is a compilation show featuring plus-sized and fat comedians at the Fringe. I book it and I host it. 

​

Here's the marketing spiel for the show:

​

Fatty. Chubby. Blobby. Plump. Plus size. Chonk! Enjoy a body-positive buffet of comedians from across the Fringe. Hosted by chunky Welshman Stuart Thomas. Frog and Bucket World Series Finalist. RedWillow New Comedian runner-up. British Comedy Guide Comedy Poster Awards finalist. 'An appealing presence' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Impressive as it was impeccable' (NottsComedyReview.wordpress.com). 'Bad fatty; great comedian! Oh so freaking funny!' (Sofie Hagen). 'Made me laugh a lot' (Scotsman). Fresh line-up daily.

​

The show was a success with audiences ranging from 20 to 40 which was the room at maximum capacity. Chonk was also featured in the plus sized mens magazine Chubstr as well as shared by comedian Sofie Hagen.

​

​It was great fun running the show, the poster even got nominated for both awards (audience and judges) at the British Comedy Guides Comedy Poster Awards.

​

To blow my own trumpet, that ain't too bad considering I designed it myself.

​

The show even got some lovely reviews:

"Great way to spend an hour and a brilliantly funny, affable host with Stuart" - Matt Benton, EdFringe.com.
