Dane Cook Broadway Debut “Fat Pig”

Funnyman Dane Cook will join Robin Williams on the Great White Way next year, making his Broadway debut in Neil LaBute’s adaptation of Fat Pig.

The play — which premiered Off Broadway in 2004 and has been produced in Boston, Los Angeles, and London — is a comedy that tells the story of Tom, an eligible bachelor who falls for a plus-sized girl named Helen. Tom’s in for a life change when his friend Carter (Cook) forces him to question his values and the meaning of true beauty.

Eh — sounds a bit ’80s Afterschool Special to us, but we’ll see what transpires.
