Olga Koch has one good story. Only it's not really her story. Do you wanna hear it? Fat Tom Cruise is a show about masculinity, accountability and the stories we tell ourselves - even if they're not really our stories to tell.

Speaking of bringing her new show Fat Tom Cruise to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and on tour across the UK and Ireland, Olga Koch says: "I would love for you to come see Fat Tom Cruise on tour, not only because I think it is likely my best work but also because I am currently being sued by Tom Cruise and really need the money for legal fees. God bless."

Fat Tom Cruise is directed by Jet Vevers.

Olga Koch is an award winning comedian and podcaster. She is a co-host of the popular podcast The Glue Factory and most recently the Heated Rivalry podcast Tonsil Hockey with co-host Catherine Bohart.
