About
What to expect
In Heavyweight, Fimme Bakker talks about extremes: he was addicted to drink and drugs, and now to food.
He searches for relief, control and balance, and asks why enough is never enough.
He also looks at everything we try to suppress, using sharp humor, musical talent and unfiltered honesty.
The show is cabaret: sharp, funny and painfully recognizable, even if you do not have an eating problem.
