The Gluttony of Harold Huge

Date: 2020-09-24

Bruce Snowdon was born on 19th February 1946 in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. At 19 years old, Snowdon weighed nearly 250lbs and by age 23, 350lbs. 

He had piled on a lot of weight and by the time he was 25 he was a bloated behemoth tipping the scales at a whopping 450lbs. He contacted Ward Hall who ran the World of Wonders sideshow and the rest as they say, is history. 
Ward would introduce him by saying; "He’s so big it takes four girls to hug him and a box car to lug him. When he dances you’ll swear he must be full of jelly, cause jam don’t shake like that. Ladies! He is single and lookin’ for a wife - he’s so fat, he’ll provide you with a lot of shade in the summer time, he’ll keep you nice and warm in the winter time and give you lots of lovin’ all the time!” 

Ward also gave him his first stage name "Harold Huge” although he also performed under the moniker ' Howard Huge’ and ‘Big Bruno’. In 2002 he retired from show business all together and on 9th November 2009, Harold Huge’s gluttonous lifestyle came to an end, and he passed away at a nursing home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, aged 64.
