Jody Kamali is Jeremy Irons in IRONING BOARD MAN
In this unique and original physical comedy show, Jody Kamali defies the laws of gravity, common sense, and household chores as he ingeniously uses not one, not two, but eight ironing boards to create a spectacle that’s larger than life. Watch in awe as Jody transforms these everyday household items into the tools of an epic love story.
Jody Kamali is here to take you on a rib-tickling journey through an epic Hollywood and Marvel-style romance that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
“Ironing Board Man” is a show that challenges your expectations, blends genres, and keeps the energy level cranked up to the max. It’s a one-of-a-kind, original show. It simply must be seen to be believed.

FHODS is pleased to announce that the shop doors will soon open on a new production of Hobson’s Choice, the well-loved, classic northern comedy.
Henry Hobson runs a shoe business in Salford, Greater Manchester. A widower with three daughters, he is overbearing, controlling, and a drunk.
When his eldest daughter, Maggie – the real driving force behind the success of the business – announces her intentions to marry Willie Mossop, one of his most skilled employees, Hobson is astounded…
Originally set in 1880, Hobson’s Choice is a comic exploration of the changing status and expectations of women at a time when society was about to shift dramatically.
However, to present a fresh view of the play and make it more relevant to a modern audience, we are resetting to 1966, another period of significant social change, especially for women, which sowed the seeds of women’s lib and the feminist movement. It was also the year of Bob Dylan playing at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, the BBC began broadcasting in colour, and when England won the World Cup.
And so, under such auspicious circumstances, our story will unfold…

FHODS Small Stage Theatre
FHODS are proud to present Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks, a charming comedy charting the unpredictable relationship between two unlikely dance partners.
Lily and Michael are two people from very different backgrounds but share a love not only of dancing but also arguing and, unbeknownst to each other, they are also both wronged, grieving and desperately in need of someone to ‘dance’ with.
As their relationship develops it turns out that the dutiful wife, now widow, of a Southern Baptist minister and the gay, former Broadway chorus boy have more in common than they could have possibly imagined and a relationship built initially on mutual deceit and suspicion slowly turns into one of understanding, support and finally love.
In amongst the Waltzes, Foxtrots and Tangos the unlikely pair provide us with laughs, heartbreak, tenderness and a mutual antipathy towards a neighbour with highly sensitive ears
Tickets £10 | £8 (Members/Under 18s)
Doors 6.30pm | Unreserved seating
*Please note that FHODS Small Stage Theatre performances will take place in our welcoming foyer. Seats for these events will be unreserved, but rest assured, there will be ample seating available for everyone booked and a maximum of 120 audience members per performance.
