About this show
One man. Twelve ironing boards. One epic soundtrack. Get ready to be amazed as physical comedian Jody Kamali masterfully transforms everyday household items into the tools of a Hollywood-style, action-packed movie. With heart-pounding moments and emotional depth, this show thrilled audiences during its packed-out Fringe runs in 2024 and 2025 earning numerous standing ovations. There's gunfire, there's a wedding, there's more gunfire and there's revenge – plus plenty of laughter along the way. 'Demands applause' (Scotsman). 'Astonishing' (DarkChat.co.uk). 'Unapologetically mindless' (Guardian). 'Wonderfully "fringe-y" Fringe show' (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Slapstick and delightful' (One4Review.co.uk).
