Fats Timbo is a comedian, author, presenter, and disability advocate, using her platform to champion racial equality and disability inclusion with unmatched honesty, humour, and power. Currently hosting the podcast Living Fearlessly with Fats Timbo, she has emerged as a leading voice for marginalised communities, particularly disabled people of colour. Born with Achondroplasia, Fats draws from a lifetime of being underestimated, bullied, and misrepresented—turning these experiences into fuel for impactful storytelling and change. Her speaking topics range from racial equity, intersectionality, and disability awareness to confidence, body image, and resilience. It’s her lived experience, sharp wit, and engaging delivery that make her a sought-after racial equality speaker today.

Fats began her public journey in 2018 with a notable appearance on Channel 4’s The Undateables, instantly standing out for her openness and charisma. She soon built a massive online following with viral comedy sketches and candid commentary, establishing herself as a multi-talented content creator and model. Her sharp humour and advocacy around disability visibility attracted attention from broadcasters and live audiences alike. In parallel, she carved a niche in stand-up comedy with her live show Fats & Friends, giving digital comedians a platform to break into live performance—demonstrating her commitment to inclusivity and mentoring within entertainment.

In recent years, Fats has reached even greater heights. In 2023, she published her first book, Main Character Energy, offering an empowering and refreshingly honest take on navigating life with confidence. The same year, she was honoured at Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year Awards, a recognition of her advocacy and influence. She has taken on high-profile roles as a presenter, including Channel 4’s Paris 2024 Paralympics coverage, BBC’s Laugh Lessons, and Celebrity Gogglebox. Her TV presence also includes Stand Up To Cancer, The Apprentice: You’re Fired, and Celebrity Mastermind, solidifying her as a mainstream talent committed to making change visible.

Fats speaks passionately on the intersections of race and disability, weaving personal stories with critical insights on systemic inequality. Her talks are insightful, humorous, and deeply impactful—covering representation, body positivity, unconscious bias, and how to be an effective ally. As someone who has fought to be seen, heard, and valued in every space she occupies, Fats is a powerful speaker who embodies the change she advocates. Organisations hire her because she connects authentically with audiences, challenges perceptions, and leaves people inspired to build more inclusive and equitable environments.
