Daniel Lobell is at the Fringe with his show Tipping the Scales where he talks about his journey to a healthier lifestyle, growing up as a larger kid and the lack of realistic representation of larger people in media.
We can laugh about fat, but let’s be careful how we laugh about it.
Chris Quilietti sat down with Daniel to talk about the show as well as the job of a comedian, spending summers in Scotland and problematic Scottish diet, Hollywood’s mistreatment of overweight people on screen, being interviewed by his comedy hero Craig Ferguson and how two chance meetings lead to him interviewing comedy legend Fred Armisen.
