Emily Weitzman is a writer, performer, educator, and multidisciplinary artist from New York.
She is a lecturer in writing at Columbia University. She teaches courses focused on writing about performance.
Emily is the writer and performer of the one-woman show, FURNITURE BOYS, which, following its successful debut, has been invited by Underbelly to return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a full-run this August 2026!
But first: FURNITURE BOYS returns home to NYC in June! Join us for our off-Broadway run at SoHo Playhouse on June 11th @ 7pm, June 12th @ 7pm, and June 13th @ 8pm. Get your tickets now!
FURNITURE BOYS was reviewed by The Guardian with a glowing 4-star review for its debut run at Ed Fringe. The Guardian calls FURNITURE BOYS: “Ridiculous and revelatory”; “witty… ingenious”; “shimmeringly silly’; “Weitzman’s show keeps revealing hidden depths.”
The Guardian writes: “She also achieves a feat that many fringe comedians don’t manage as she makes a whole out of familiar elements… It is a very well-made play.”
