Fat City - Auckland Improv Festival

Dive headfirst into the unpredictable world of Fat City. Where the streets are teeming with characters who play by their own rules. This isn’t your typical crime show—here, morality is as flexible as the city’s crooked alleys. Whether it's a fast-talking hustler, a smooth operator with a heart of gold, or a no-nonsense dame who’s always three steps ahead, the citizens of Fat City do whatever it takes to get by. Every decision is spur-of-the-moment, driven by pure survival instinct, and laced with a wicked sense of humor. Inspired by crime classics but with our signature twist, this show is packed with high-stakes action, outrageous personalities, and plenty of surprises. In Fat City, expect the unexpected—where nothing is ever as it seems, and everything’s up for grabs.
