Ironing Man

One man’s hopes and dreams, channeled through an iron. This comedy weaves together satire, song, and copious amounts of brightly coloured linen.

"There’s little Darbyshire can’t do with an iron." – Theatreview

Nominated for Best Comedy, Nelson Fringe 2020

Blasting through the steamy void between musical theatre and stand-up comedy, Ironing Man is sidesplitting, heartwarming, and unashamedly queer.

If you've never paid to watch someone iron, now is your chance. Come prepared to laugh, cry, and share in the universal wonder of ironing.

Mark Darbyshire is among Christchurch's most brightly dressed and well-pressed comedians. He weaves together music, theatre, and anecdotes into a well-ironed comedic tapestry. His previous Little Andromeda appearances include Canvas Sketches, Death and Biscuits, and Off Book: The Musical.
