Martin Fransham (He / Him) is a multidisciplinary force—father, husband, entrepreneur, combat sports competitor, outdoors enthusiast, and the producer and host of The Iron Cabaret. With a passion for performance and a deep curiosity about how gender norms shape our culture, Martin crafts provocative, boundary-pushing shows that challenge expectations and celebrate individuality. Since its launch, The Iron Cabaret has not only captivated audiences but also made a meaningful impact—raising over $17,000 for charity and awarding 39 performer bursaries to support emerging artists. Martin’s work lives at the intersection of art, identity, and social change, and he is thrilled to bring this conversation to the Ottawa Climax stage.
