What should audiences expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People can expect highly skilled circus skills, a backflipping dog, very silly physical comedy. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t\u00a0speak a single word: it\u2019s all non-verbal, and everyday objects become extraordinary. <\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m flyering I describe it like Mr Bean with tricks, or if Vic and Bob were at the circus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think it is possible for anyone to reach the child within themselves?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0think we do all the\u00a0time, I found my old cub jumper from when I was\u00a0young, and all the\u00a0badges I\u2019d got\u00a0were literally\u00a0all the things I love now \u2013 bikes, tech, art and theatre and comedy! <\/p>\n<p>It was\u00a0fascinating. I think there\u2019s a lot of pressure on people\u2019s inner child to be really\u00a0wacky and zany.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s\u00a0ok if your inner child loved accounting. A world full of clowns would be infuriating!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get started as a performer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I fell into it by accident; I was a painter and a sculptor creatively. When I was 19 my partner taught\u00a0me to juggle, and I was hooked! i then traveled around India when I was 22 and started making shows there and never looked back. <\/p>\n<p>A friend of mine told me this quote and I love it, People ask me how I got into circus, my answer is how did you manage to avoid it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you looking forward to the most at Edinburgh?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being in the beautiful city, visiting my family up there, performing\u00a0my show and of course catching up with all the beautiful weirdos I call friends, it\u2019s such a magical place. <\/p>\n<p>I love watching as many shows as I can too, it\u2019s so inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can we see your work after Fringe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m touring the UK and internationally in 2026, so check\u00a0out\u00a0my socials and my website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.darryljcarrington.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.darryljcarrington.com<\/a>\u00a0for dates.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tLike this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/>    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Darryl J Carrington joins us to chat about his new Edinburgh Fringe show, Out of the Box. \u201cThis&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,111620,1102,56777,4884,712,2764,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-302728","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-childrens-theatre","10":"tag-edinburgh","11":"tag-edinburgh-fringe","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-theatre","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114939758229069222","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
