Skinny

Skinny! It’s more than a word—it’s a societal chokehold.

A lifelong battle with scales, shapewear and shifty surgeons. But there's an alternative! Backed by a powerhouse band, multi-award-winning vocalist and cabaret performer Michelle Pearson dishes up a stunning blend of pop anthems, soaring ballads and raw, real storytelling.

With stunning vocals and eye-opening interviews, this inspiring work unpacks society's toxic obsession with diet culture urging us to rethink what beauty truly means.

Heartfelt, relatable and uplifting, it's a celebration of every shape, every size and every person who's ever looked in the mirror and wondered: is this slimming?
