Furniture Boys (in NYC)

FURNITURE BOYS is packing up its blow-up couch and heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August for a full run with the renowned venue Underbelly. Come send off FURNITURE BOYS at Caveat!

In this absurdist comedy from writer-performer Emily Weitzman, boyfriends are armchairs, lampshades and futons. Hailed as “hilarious,” “weirdly poignant,” and “loopily, luminously charming,” FURNITURE BOYS explores how furniture endures, but boyfriends – not so much. Blending theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom, this one-woman show has been called “imaginative, thoughtful, playful, hilarious and relentlessly, infectiously joyous” (The Buzz).

Written and performed by Emily Weitzman, originally directed by Rachel Resnik, and with PEN Award finalist Kate Doyle directing its Edinburgh Fringe debut, FURNITURE BOYS premiered off-Broadway at the SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Series in 2024 (where it won “Theatre’s Choice”), before taking on the Island Fringe in Canada and Orlando Fringe’s selective FestN4, where it was awarded “The Fringiest Show.”

A tale of pull-out couches and break-ups and art-making, FURNITURE BOYS explores the impermanence of a relationship, an artistic project, a person, a chair, a self.
