The Big, Fat LGBT Everything You Need to Know Show of Shows was created out of a clear need in the community to educate or support various LGBT groups and interests in a variety of settings. The show is ideal for corporations, social service agencies, high schools, and college campuses. It is a more entertaining sequel to our earlier show on this topic “Ten Percent.” Some of the organizations for whom we had previously performed “Ten Percent” have asked us to come back, so we wanted to provide them with newer programming. The Big, Fat LGBT Everything You Need to Know Show of Shows is a 50-minute fun and fact-filled romp through the realities of LGBT life that uses sketch comedy, song, dance, audience participation and more. Highlights include “Straight as a Second Language,” “Is She/He, Isn’t She/He?” and the game show “Fact or Fiction.” We premiered this very successfully at Pfizer in August of 2009, and we are currently seeking more performance opportunities. Organizations are encouraged to book this show to educate employers and employees about the impact of the LGBT community and it is ideal for student groups as well. Testimonials “The Big Fat LGBT Show of Shows presents important information about sexual orientation and gender identity with humor, fun, and energy. The best ‘diversity workshop’ you could bring in this year.” -Steve Houldsworth, St. Louis Effort for AIDS “The talented Joan Lipkin makes education about LGBT issues hilarious and thought-provoking. It is pain-free!” -Susan Block, attorney, Paule, Camezine & Blumenthal “A great way to educate and enlighten companies and their employees to the existence and impact of the LGBT community.” -Christine Elbert, USA Mortgage “I continue to be impressed with Joan Lipkin’s ability to produce and direct theater in informative and enjoyable ways to address the pressing social issues of our time. We have worked with That Uppity Theatre Company numerous times, and it has always been a joy - and we get great feedback every time” -Brian Vohs, HR Pfizer “The Big Fat LGBT Show of Shows is fabulous. I would love to see this brought to colleges I work with to improve awareness. So important.” -Dennis Nicely, GLSEN “A great way to learn more about LGBT people. Painless and entertaining.” -Nina Balsam, One Saint Louis “The Big Fat LGBT Show of Shows is tremendously entertaining and informative.” -Kathleen Finneran
