Milo Hartill: Black, Fat and F**gy

At the centre of the Venn diagram of queer, chunky, brown women with the voice of a goddamn angel, you’ll find the terrifying talent that is Milo Hartill.

How do you tell the story of a mixed race, fat, bisexual, underwear model, performer and instagram influencer? You sing the shit out of a fistfull of killer songs in a brand spanking new cabaret of course. Straddling pretty much all of the hottest 2024 minorities (take that as you will), Milo’s unique perspective has her perfectly placed to unpack the NOW. In her World Premiere new show fresh on the heels of its Sydney season, she delves into personal stories, belts out songs ranging from Mousse T to Nina Simone, and kicks around some undoubtedly controversial opinions on the current state of the influencer, theatre and singing scenes in Australia.

Part cabaret, part song-cycle and part influencer-takeover, Black, Fat and F**gy is a tonic for our times and a queer Black fantasia that will leave audiences screaming with joy.
