Ironing board man

I saw this guy in the underground at St James' Park and thought it looked like some whacky performance piece. After taking his pic, I talked to him (I thought it only fair to ask him if it was cool to use it) and it turned out that he was in fact a performer and the ironing board was part of his character Herbert's act. It stands in for all kinds of props including a telephone!
