Theo Mason Wood: Legalise Kissing

Writer for Netlfix’s The Gentlemen, Berlin based comedian Theo Mason Wood is coming to the UK for his first solo show. A genre-defying mix of stand-up, techno, and clowning. Created in the smoke filled basements of Berlin’s bars, Theo performs surreal stories about love and loss over swirling synthesisers and electronic beats. He is coming to Edinburgh with only one goal in mind: to Legalise Kissing.

Francisco de Nata

Step into the joyful and absurd world of Francisco de Nata – A giraffe. In a G-string. With a job to do. In this non-verbal 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). Will it come together before time runs out?

"Be Good!" with Paulette

Paulette stumbles into a theatre full of the most people he's ever seen, and he doesn't know whether to panic or mingle. Sporting a brown sweater and a hot-off-the-fist black eye, he approaches the stage armed with nothing but an arsenal of pleasantries, a pocketful of charm and a monumental fear of rejection. American clown Daniel Maseda makes his solo debut with this evening of small talk madness that can't help but be different every night. One thing's for certain: this show is for anyone who wants to scream at a polite person.
