Out of the Box: Where everyday objects spark extraordinary fun.

Fresh from five-star success at the Edinburgh Fringe and crowned Best Family Show at Brighton Fringe, Darryl J Carrington invites you into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. A toothbrush stars in a balancing act, a piece of string launches a movie heist, and a tea party appears – quite literally – on unsuspecting volunteers’ heads.

With over twenty years of circus and clowning experience, Darryl delivers a masterclass in silent comedy; combining world-class juggling, inventive physical theatre, and heartwarming audience interaction.

Darryl’s humour manages to transcend language and age, delighting children, parents, and grandparents alike. But kindness is what truly makes this show special. No one is the punchline and everyone becomes part of the magic.

Expect laughter, surprise, and wonder from start to finish. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, Out of the Box will leave you full of wonder at how the most simple items can create the most magic. And as The Scotsman put it, Out of the Box is “Utterly absorbing, charming and great fun… a real sense of joy and solidarity in the room”.

Step out of the ordinary. Step Out of the Box.
