About

Darryl J Carrington, returns to Woolwich Works following his sold out show 'Out of the Box'.

This time a British silent clown, visual comedian, brings a brand new show 'Tennish'

It's playful, chaotic, visual and all about ambition, performance and failure.

Expect audience participation, wigs, singing tennis balls, music video parodies, and an unlikely side kick, a dog called Flippy, that is his new muse! In addition, a banging soundtrack and lots of tech surprises. A world defined and then broken into chaos and silly ideas. All with no words being spoken!

The Creation of Tennish
For ‘Tennish’, Darryl wanted to place himself as a clown into the tennis world and play with the rules and expectations of that environment. His working-class father, a military officer, always wanted him to aspire to greatness, many violin lessons and tennis lessons were had. But it just wasn’t exciting enough as he wanted to hang out on the street corners with the punks even from a very young age. He was drawn to adrenaline and pushing the limits…. So, he swapped tennis for extreme sports and violin lessons for raves. This show is about expectations and putting himself in a world where he just wanted to be a rock star instead of tennis star! With his cartoon-like mind he often daydreamed about scenarios that he brings to life on stage. He loves making ordinary objects do extraordinary things.
