Step into the joyful and absurd world of Francisco de Nata: A Giraffe. In A G-String. With a job to do! In this silent clown show featuring audience interaction, puppetry and yes, a very special Portuguese custard tart, Francisco invites you on a playful journey where nonsense, vulnerability and wonder take centre stage. Tasked with painting a ceiling, his world soon unravels into beautiful chaos, but as the clock ticks and the paint dries, a tender and ridiculous story unfolds about this giraffe's love for his Avó (grandma) and the world around him. Will it all come together before time runs out?

Hot off the hooves of another exciting Edinburgh Fringe run with Underbelly, come and laugh with the Giraffe at Colchester Fringe this year!
