A visual comedy spectacle
featuring world class tricks, contagious laughter and
a show-stopping
toothbrush-wielding
raucously silly finale
🎭 about THE ACT
Out of the Box is a family-friendly comedy show, which sees an unlikely character and his box bring audiences together through joyful awe, never knowing what to expect next. With every opening of the box comes new trick shots, mini acts, and hilarious opportunities for participation – but don’t worry – Darryl only ever wants you to leave the stage feeling like the star of the show (there’s no ridicule here!).
Delivered through gentle, non-verbal clowning, ordinary objects become extraordinary in the hands of Darryl – and you won’t believe the reaction he gets from a toothbrush in the finale! The show is a joyous celebration of PLAY throughout your life, whatever your age, bringing generations together through seriously skilful silliness.

“See this show! I loved it as much as my 9 year old! And he was totally enthralled and wants to see it again tomorrow”

“Oh we loved this! It's fairly tricky to find shows that can entertain 3 year olds, 7 year olds and me (their mum) equally well, but we were all giggling away. Perfectly silly, clever and light hearted.”
