Danielle Aquilina has forged a path from slam poetry to devising her own award winning play, taking on the taboo topic of women’s bodies with fearless abandon.

Fat Girl may sound like a confronting title for a one woman show, but as Danielle tells us on Streets of Your Town - it’s an apt moniker for her  unapologetic take on body dysmorphia, societal norms, and inner demons.

She’s fresh from winning the 2025 Darwin Fringe Festival “Risky Award”, and is now taking her defiant show on the road with a quick season in her home town of Brisbane, and invitations to take it further afield.

Drawing on her background in improvisational comedy and blending that with live performance, Danielle brings disarming honesty to the stage to make us all take a sharp breath before questioning our own assumptions, with a deeply personal yet universal story of reclaiming space, voice and worth.
