Comedian Neto... faces from the Konkani tiatr

Natolino Lourenco Vales, better known as Comedian Nato, is a popular figure from the Konkani tiatr stage. Born on Dec 28, 1972, he is from Morallem in Curchorem, Goa. More from the Wikipedia:
Natolino Lourenco Vales was born in the Kakoda neighborhood of Curchorem, Goa. His father, Emilio Francisco Vales, worked as an agriculturist and was from the village of Agaçaim. His mother, Rosalinda Pereira, was a homemaker from the village of Chandor. Both of Vales' parents were based in the town of Sanvordem....] During his formative years, Vales navigated through a series of obstacles. His mother's decision to pursue work opportunities abroad in order to sustain their family played a pivotal role in contributing to Vales' holistic personal growth. He has articulated a sense of appreciation for the constructive guidance provided by his maternal uncle, Hortencio Pereira, emphasizing that he has embraced significant values through their relationship.[3]
Vales's early interest and involvement in the Goan theatrical form of tiatr was facilitated by his uncle, Hortencio. During his childhood, Hortencio initiated Vales into the world of tiatr performances at the age of seven. In addition to his attendance at tiatr performances, Vales immersed himself in the traditional street plays known as Zomnivoile khell in his local village... In an era when transportation was more limited, Vales and his uncle undertook significant journeys from Sanvordem to Margao, a popular tiatr center, in order to witness performances.[3]
Vales is known particularly his comedic roles. He commenced his career with minor roles, but a crucial opportunity arose when his two uncles, Agnelo and Hortencio, who were established comedic actors, invited Vales to replace Agnelo in one of his comedic roles. Vales' performance in this substituted role was so well-received that it marked a significant turning point, leading him to focus more on comedy going forward. Following this breakthrough, he began regularly working with various Goan theater directors, including Tony Park, with whom he made his professional debut in tiatrs (a traditional Goan theater form). He subsequently collaborated on comedic productions with a number of other directors, such as Betty Alvares, Seby de Sarzona, William de Curtorim, Pascoal Rodrigues, Maxy Pereira, Milagres de Chandor, Fr Planton Faria, Wilmix-Sharon, Christina Vaz, John D' Silva, Anil Kumar, Domnic Carvalho, among others.[3]
Vales has appeared in several Konkani VCD (Video Compact Disc) productions, including the films Vizmit directed by Arnold D'Costa, Stop it, Dog Chedde Dogui Redde, Vadoll etc. In addition to his film roles, he has also acted in tiatrs, a form of Konkani theater. One such tiatr production showcased the story of the humanitarian, Mother Teresa, highlighting her life and contributions. In this theatrical work, Vales was required to portray multiple characters, a common practice in tiatr performances. In a specific segment of the performance, he took on the role of a goonda, commonly known as a gangster, who crosses paths with Mother Teresa as she journeys to the convent with a young child. As part of this role, Vales' character was meant to threaten Mother Teresa using a prop pistol. However, in a crucial moment of the play, as he aimed the prop gun at the actress depicting Mother Teresa, the fake revolver's muzzle fractured. As a consequence, the spring mechanism of the prop gun became dislodged and was left hanging in his grasp. This technical malfunction reportedly elicited laughter not only from the audience but also from the actress portraying Mother Teresa herself.[3]
Vales expressed aspirations to direct tiatrs (theatrical productions) in the future. Vales possesses the ability to perform both comedic roles and sing. He views this versatility as a significant advantage.... In December 2011, Vales was cast in a comedic role in the Konkani VCD action comedy film Bhognnar, which was directed by John D' Silva.[4]
Vales participated in several theatrical productions in the mid-2010s. In March 2015, he was cast in the comedy film Paying Guest, directed by Comedian Agostinho in collaboration with Manfa Music. Vales portrayed the lead role of the paying guest, with Comedienne Janet in a co-starring role.[5] Later that same year, in December 2015, Vales was selected to appear in the tiatr (a form of Goan theater) titled Tuzo-l Dis Yetolo (Your Day Will Come), written by playwright Roseferns. Vales undertook a comic role in the production, acting alongside fellow performers Comedian Richard, Dorothy, and Reggie. Additionally, he and Richard performed a political satire duet song as part of the tiatr.[6] The following year, in May 2016, Vales was again cast in a tiatr production by Roseferns, this time titled All The Best. Once more, he was given a comic supporting part in the play, co-starring with Richard, Dorothy, and Reggie.[7]...

Arrey irmao, attam London zala ek Goycho ganv! How can we overlook that reality? Aren't quite a few tiatrs (and even one Konkani natak) going there? This is a reality... let's accept it. I see it as having a good side too.
