Winner of Best Family Friendly Show at Brighton Fringe 2025

A visual comedy spectacle featuring world class tricks, contagious laughter
and a show-stopping, toothbrush-wielding, raucously silly finale.

This family-friendly comedy show is packed with surprises as Darryl and his circus in a box take you on a whirlwind of wonder. Every time the box opens, it’s a new adventure: trick shots, circus performances and laugh-out-loud moments that invite everyone to join in the fun.

Out of the Box has enjoyed worldwide success, with Darryl’s mission being to make you the star of the show (no embarrassing moments here, just pure joy!). With Darryl’s accessible and gentle non-verbal clowning, everyday objects transform into the extraordinary.

Perfect for families, comedy and circus lovers, this show is a joyous celebration of play throughout your life, whatever your age, bringing generations together through seriously skillful silliness.

“I’ve never seen a show like it, amazing juggling and so funny!”
Audience member, Bristol Weekend of Wonders

India Star (House of India Star), Burlesque & Cabaret Events
