Furniture Boys

Writer-performer Emily Weitzman’s riotous solo comedy turns boyfriends into futons and lampshades, and breakups into broken chairs. A surprising meditation on impermanence, Furniture Boys is hailed by The Guardian (****) as ‘ingenious,’ ‘shimmeringly silly,’ and ‘ridiculous and revelatory.’ Weitzman blends theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom in her search for what endures: a relationship, a memory, a sofa-bed? 

After premiering in SoHo Playhouse’s 2024 Lighthouse Series, where it was a finalist and won Theatre’s Choice, Furniture Boys returns to SoHo Playhouse ahead of a summer return to Edinburgh. Directed by Kate Doyle, it was selected by Underbelly for Edinburgh Fringe and won Fringiest Show at Orlando Fringe. This ‘inventive, playful, and surprisingly heartfelt comedy… will surprise you with its tenderness and grandiosity’ **** 1/2 (The Student).
