Dom McGovern, comedian and co-writer of Chicken Shop Date, makes his Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with Prize Hog, a stand-up hour about bodies, blokes, and begrudgingly accepting who you are. The show traces the accumulation of messages, images, and cultural signals that shaped McGovern's relationship with his body, from a Catholic upbringing and late-2000s diet television to finding himself the only man in an eating disorder group therapy session. Prize Hog explores body dysmorphia, eating disorders, male body image, shame, and masculinity, weaving McGovern's personal stories with crowd work and cultural commentary spanning Kate Moss to wellness influencers and Ozempic. The show runs with the exception of August 18th.
