Event Information

Courtyard Card
Company: Jody Kamali
Duration: 55 minutes

Jody Kamali stars as Jeremy Irons in Ironing Board Man.

One man. Nine ironing boards. One unforgettable soundtrack. Prepare to be amazed as physical comedian Jody Kamali skillfully transforms ordinary household items into the tools of a Hollywood-style, action-packed romance. With heart-pounding moments and emotional depth, this show thrilled audiences with a sell-out run at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe and earned standing ovations.

There’s gunfire, there’s a wedding, there’s more gunfire, and there’s revenge—plus plenty of laughter along the way.

Ironing Board Man is a high-energy physical comedy that not only delivers laughter but also surprises with unexpected emotional twists, captivating audiences from 12 to 80.

‘an astonishing tour de force’
Dark Chat
‘more laughs than a laundry room full of nitrous oxide and easily-amused hyenas’

‘exuberantly, unapologetically mindless…it’s too funny’
The Guardian
‘Daft, ridiculous, absurd and very funny.. This is imaginative physical comedy. Its risky and energetic. Jody pulls it off convincingly’
Buxton Fringe
‘The panache with which he contrives an epic romance with little beyond an ironing board and rubber gloves demands applause'
The Scotsman
‘there’s no denying that Kamali’s strengths as a clown and physical comedian make every individual moment entertaining.’
The Stage
'A triumph…an elaborate mime worthy of Tape Face '
