Spoon Show

A clown explores the comedic capacity of cutlery.

It's unclear where they got so many of these metal wonders, or for what purpose. With a fool’s brain, a dancer’s body and a determination reserved only for the truly idiotic, Fumble the Clown presents an unforgettable hour of culinary comedy. Simple, inventive and surprisingly heartfelt, this work brings its audience on a ride through the ridiculous imagination of a spoon-obsessed fool.

'Spoon Show' is the sophomore solo work created by Aotearoa-based dancer-turned-clown Daniel Nodder (Only Bones, World of WearableArt 2025). After developing this new foolishness at École Philippe Gaulier, Daniel brings all of their absurdist comedy and multi-award-winning movement skills to this performance. A perfectly balanced spoonful of comedy soup.
