Under The Hammer

Agent Dali, Agent Kahlo and YOU!

A Johannes Vermeer is going under the hammer at a charity art auction. Agents Kahlo and Dali of the Company of International Artists, a top secret art detective agency, are summoned by the organisers to oversee proceedings.

All is going well until intel from an unknown source throws everything into question…

A fine blend of theatre/improv, escape room and ‘who-dunnit’ style mystery, this immersive participatory experience sees attendees attempt to solve a fictional mystery inspired by real-world art crime cases. As newly recruited detectives of the Company of International Artists (a top secret global art detective agency) they must review evidence, decipher codes and crack puzzles to solve a case of art forgery before the culprit evades justice!

All Company of International Artists investigations are facilitated by quirky, exuberant lead investigators Agents Kahlo and Dali.

Under the Hammer is performed, written & produced by Brave Bold Drama – a multi award winning theatre company based in the south west. For the past 11 years they have been dedicated to making high quality innovative participatory theatre experiences for all ages. They pride themselves in making work that is equal parts fun, richly-detailed and edifying.

Comedy Club 4 Kids

Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits!

A decade later, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up.

The show is family friendly, but without any patronising idiocy. In fact, it’s just like a normal comedy club, but it’s on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like “why is that your face!?”

Out Of The Box

Out of the Box is a multi-award-winning family show delighting audiences across the UK; an hour of joyful chaos, jaw-dropping skill, and irresistible fun.

Fresh from five-star success at the Edinburgh Fringe and being named Best Family Show at Brighton Fringe, Darryl J Carrington transforms everyday objects into extraordinary adventures. A toothbrush stars in a balancing act, a string sparks a heist, and a tea party lands on someone’s head!

With over 20 years of circus and clowning experience, Darryl’s silent comedy blends world-class juggling, inventive physical theatre, and heartwarming audience interaction. His humour transcends age and language, captivating children, parents, and grandparents alike. But kindness is what makes this show truly special. No one is the butt of the joke and everyone becomes part of the magic.

Irish‑Iranian and proudly Teesside, Patrick is a celebrated observational stand‑up who tours a brand‑new show every year across the UK and the world, performing throughout Europe, the Middle East, America, and Australia.

He’s appeared at major UK festivals—including an incredible 16 consecutive years at the Edinburgh International Festival—and has been featured on BBC One & Two, ITV1 & 2, Channel 4, Channel 5, and Sky One.

Patrick’s TV credits include winner of ITV’s “Show Me the Funny”, as well as appearances on Splash, Celebrity Squares, The One Show (BBC), Fake Reaction (ITV) and a Pointless Celebrities special (BBC).
