Last updated:

This year’s Ventnor Fringe Festival has a treat in store that is certain to create a buzz.

The highly anticipated show, ‘Out of the Box’ by Darryl J Carrington, is set to make its grand debut and has everyone talking.

A rollercoaster of emotions
‘Out of the Box’ is a show filled to the brim with thrilling unpredictability.

Labelled as an event of ever-increasing tension, it offers an immersive experience that is both exciting and exhilarating.

Audiences will be captivated by a concoction of improbable situations, challenging interactions with physics, and a climax that promises to be as euphoric as a substitute underdog scoring the winning goal.

Charm and delight
However, the unique charm of ‘Out of the Box’ lies not in the high stakes, but in its ability to celebrate the audience.

It’s a sublime blend of world-class juggling, skilful manipulation, and creative TikTok trick shots, all delivered with a dash of non-verbal clowning.

The show goes out of its way to make stars out of its audience members, rejoicing in their shared failures and triumphs.

Free juggling lessons
Although his shows don’t begin until Friday, Darryl is on the Island from today (Wednesday) and you’ll find him in the Fringe Village Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons where he is offering free Learn to Juggle lessons.

As head of juggling at Circomedia, Bristol’s circus school for eight years, Darryl has figured out a technique where he can teach anyone to juggle in under 10mins! Find him in the Park and see whether he can teach you too!

A creative journey
The show is the result of a 15-year creative journey by the award-winning performer Darryl J Carrington.

Drawing from his wealth of experiences with international arena tour shows, touring circuses, and street festivals, ‘Out of the Box’ is truly a unique spectacle.
