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 has its Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with Underbelly in August 2025.
FURNITURE BOYS was just 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”; “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.”
