Reviews
“Little ones and grownups looked noticeably at ease up on stage with Carrington; toddlers in the seats tugged at their parents’ sleeves with glee.”
- Broadway World
“Carrington’s gift lies in his kindness as a performer – quick to laugh at himself, always ensuring that volunteers feel safe, never ridiculed. It’s this generosity, combined with his clever inventiveness and boundless energy, that leaves the audience glowing.”
- The Reviews Hub
“The adults in the audience were as engrossed in what was happening as the children. The focus was largely on finding fun through everyday objects, like toothbrushes, and everyday routines, like making a cup of tea. It’s chaotic and hugely enjoyable.”
- London Theatre1
“Carrington has a lovely connection and warmth with the audience and… a finale using toothbrushes was simply hilarious and a fabulous, crazy ending to a zany show.”
- Stage Door Joe
“Carrington’s “out of the box” thinking brings the entire audience together, making everyone feel part of the magic. His talent as a performer shines through every moment, blending classic clowning charm with a modern twist.”
- West Berkshire Family Life
