About Emily Weitzman
Furniture Boys is a one-woman absurdist comedy by writer-performer Emily Weitzman, in which boyfriends are armchairs, lampshades and futons. Blending theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom, the show explores how furniture endures — but boyfriends not so much. Weitzman delivers every element of this Edinburgh Festival Fringe production at the Buttercup venue. The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets start from £8.50.
Why see this show?
A singular one-woman show that uses furniture as a lens for examining relationships — the blend of clown, spoken word and absurdist comedy is genuinely unusual, and the price makes it accessible.
