OcFollowing a 12-city national tour, the award-winning solo show Too Fat for China is coming to Brooklyn. Written, drawn, and performed by comic storyteller Phoebe Potts, the tragicomic play explores the complexities and absurdities of the international adoption industry.
The production is scheduled for eight Tuesday evening performances at 6:30 p.m., running from October 6 through November 24, 2026. Directed by Christopher Griffith, the shows will take place at RAT NYC, located at 68 Jay Street, Suite 117 in DUMBO.
The narrative follows Potts as she navigates the emotional and ethical process of attempting to adopt a child both domestically and internationally. The play serves as a sequel to her 2010 graphic memoir Good Eggs, which documented her personal experiences with infertility and medical treatments.
The show has a total runtime of 60 minutes with no intermission. General admission tickets are priced at $25, which includes all applicable ticketing fees.
The production features artwork and set design created by Potts, costume design by Jen Greeke, and “crankie” fabrication by James Lemieux. Original music titled “Dinkenesh in the Sky with Diamonds” was composed and recorded by the Abyssinia Music Group in Ethiopia and produced by Tom Beatz.
