As this February half term comes to a close, Darryl Carrington will be performing his family-friendly circus comedy show at Theatre Brycheiniog on Friday, February 20 at 2pm.

Out of the Box 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 room for ridicule here).

Darryl Carrington who is from Newport has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and will now delight local audiences in Brecon during the half term holidays. His hour long show which is ideal for ages four and over, is a joyous celebration of play, bringing generations together through seriously skilful silliness.

Delivered through, 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!

Out of the Box will be at Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon on Friday, February20 at 2pm. Tickets are available from the Box Office on:01874 611622 or by visiting Brycheiniog.co.uk
