About Francisco de Nata
Francisco de Nata is a non-verbal clown show presented at the Daisy as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running for 60 minutes and suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. The central character is a giraffe in a G-string with a job to do — specifically, painting a ceiling. The show weaves together audience interaction, puppetry, and a very special Portuguese custard tart into a playful journey where nonsense, vulnerability and wonder take centre stage. As the clock ticks and the paint dries, the story becomes unexpectedly tender, centring on the giraffe's love for his Avó, or grandmother. Tickets start from £8.
Why see this show?
A non-verbal clown show that manages to be both genuinely absurd and quietly touching. If you enjoy physical comedy that earns its heart, this is a rare find — playful, inventive, and unexpectedly moving.
