Why Being Fat Is A Superpower -- Annie Nardolilli & Louisa Hall

Fat Joy with Sophia Apostol

Annie Nardolilli (she/her) and Louisa Hall (she/her) are the singers/songwriters behind the musical comedy group, Griefcat. In this hilarious conversation, they share how they became ‘musical soulmates,’ what sparked their maximalist on-stage aesthetic, and why being fat is their superpower. Also, they sing to us.

Griefcat is an all-women musical comedy duo hailed as “local favorites” by Washington City Paper in their hometown of DC. Often referred to as “Tenacious Double D’s” due to their musicality and hilarious lyrics, their sequin studded shows have brightened stages across the country. They’ve dazzled social media too —just one of their tunes, Revolution (Poop at Work) has over 15 Million views across tiktok and Instagram. Relatability for all is at the core of their lyrics; as Questlove commented on a recent clip, “I feel seen.”
