Nanta show is also known as Cookin or Cookin Nanta. It is non-verbal comedy performance that integrates Korea's traditional rhythm, Samulnori. Instead of using various Korean traditional instruments, it uses objects that you can find in a kitchen such as pans, knives and pots as its instruments. It has a simple story of three cooks attempting to finish preparing a wedding banquet within a strict time limit.
