“At heart, I am simply a comedy & theatre nerd, so Edinburgh Fringe is truly my favourite place in the world.”

WHO: Natalie Patuzzo

WHAT: “An alien arrives on Earth with a simple task: collect every single sound on the planet. Please help her! She can’t go home until she’s collected them all. In this hilarious, interactive show, Natalie Patuzzo uses voice, objects and audience interaction to construct (and dismantle) a world, one sound at a time. Described as an endearing yet wickedly funny physical performer, Natalie Patuzzo’s debut solo clown show is chaotic, playful and full of sounds you may have heard before and may never want to hear again.”

WHERE: Ivy Studio at Greenside @ George Street (Venue 236) 

WHEN: 15:10 (50 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

Yes and no! I’ve experienced the festival as a punter (2018) and as a director & producer (2025), but this is my first festival as a performer!

I’m excited to be bringing last year’s show (Nuns of Fury!) back alongside my solo debut because I’m essentially bringing a little community up with me. It’ll be so helpful to have my friends from NOF to lean on and share my experiences with. Last year was so much fun, and we became so much closer as a collective through the experience.

I’m also determined to find time to watch other shows too! At heart, I am simply a comedy & theatre nerd, so Edinburgh Fringe is truly my favourite place in the world. I find it so inspiring to watch work from all genres and around the world. Plus, as someone not based in London, it’s the perfect time to connect with my clown community (although our community is growing in the North too!)

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2025 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

My biggest lesson has been not to be too independent (ironic given I’m performing a solo show). This applies to producing the show, but I’ve found this to be especially true in its creation. I quickly realised that I had so much self-doubt when I tried to create work in a room by myself, with nobody to laugh at me. I found myself cutting things that could have worked, or not even trying things in the first place because I started overthinking!

Putting on a show is so much work, and people WANT TO HELP! It’s something I have to keep reminding myself, and my show has been x1000 better thanks to the help of those around me.

Tell us about your show.

Every Single Sound In The World is a devised solo clown show. This means there is no script, and in fact, a lot of the show is improvised. Depending on how the audience responds, the show can change a lot from day to day.

I am the primary creator, but as mentioned, I’ve had help from people inside and outside of the rehearsal room. But a huge shout-out goes to Emily Spiers and Ali-Wilson Goldsmith, both of whom were a large part of the creation process and helped me make the show what it is today.

I met Emily in Manchester 4 years ago when I moved into a 3-bed flat, sharing with strangers from spareroom.com . We quickly realised we had a lot in common, including both being theatre makers, and we’ve been best friends who work together on our shows ever since.

Ali and I met at a week-long workshop in London led by the phenomenal Carlo Jacucci. We reunited at Edinburgh Fringe last year and agreed to play around in a rehearsal room together. The two of us then went between Manchester and London, testing things out, developing a sketch together and eventually working on my solo show!

I’ve loved working with them both and think they both very much deserve your attention.

It’s also co-produced by Chronic Insanity Productions, who have another fantastic show at Edinburgh Fringe! If you’re interested in immersive and/or digital theatre, you should absolutely check them out. They’re bringing an amazing gig theatre show called Horrorshow to Summerhall in the last week of the festival.

Every Single Sound In The World premiered at Brighton Fringe (and was nominated for the Outstanding Neurodiverse Performance Award). It has also had it’s London premier and at the time of writing this response is imminently about to have it’s Manchester premier as part of the festival.

After Edinburgh Fringe… you’ll have to keep an eye on my instagram and website to see what happens!

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

Lawrence Dodd: This Can’t Be It
I saw this show at Brighton Fringe back in May and can guarantee you will be crying with laughter – Loz is an expert in hilarious impulsivity.

Tess O’Shea: House Fly
In this clown show, Tess plays a housefly, and from what I can tell from their socials, it looks absolutely ridiculous (in the best way possible).

Mr Boy: The Beauty Contest for Boys by Max Prentice
I’m really intrigued by the concept of a one-man beauty contest where the audience picks the winner, and I’m excited to see what they do with it.

Zoe Cousin: Paul Sykes Is Back on the Family Patch
Zoe is one of my favourite character comedians, so if you’re into characters, her show should absolutely be on your list.

Francisco De Nata
If you ever wanted to see a giraffe in a g-string, this is the show for you! Keaton and I were at Gaulier together, and I can confirm he was hilarious there and has only gone from strength to strength since.

Eryn Tett: Tasting Menu
Another great concept! If the early snippets I’ve seen are anything to go by, this show is not one to miss.

And of course, if we’re talking about the big dogs, you must also see…

Garry Starr: Classic Penguins
A firm fringe favourite, nobody has made me laugh harder than Garry Starr – get your tickets now because he does sell out!

Police Cops: The Original
Another Ed Fringe classic – this physical comedy spoof of 70s cop movies is simply one of the funniest shows you’ll ever see.

Viggo Venn: Only One
He’s back, but this time without the vest! I’m excited to see what this next era of Viggo will be.

Elf Lyons is The Woman on the Edge
Elf is another titan of the current clown scene, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about her latest show!

Stamptown
This is the show I always tell friends to see; it’s pacey, there’s a million jokes a minute, and you’ll probably see some fire and nudity.
