Uplifting Circus.
Thought-Provoking Theatre.
We fuse narratives, social themes, and high-energy spectacle to create circus with a brain.
Our Story
Our Mission
creates Circus Theatre with a purpose. We drive positive change through three core pillars:
Access for All
We bring high-quality circus theatre to underrepresented areas, reaching those who rarely get access to the arts.
Social Storytelling
We create work for everyone. We inspire audiences by weaving relatable social themes into magical stories.
Community Connection
We provide creative opportunities for communities to engage and connect with circus, regardless of age or ability.
Our History
Brainfools was born from the creative energy of Toffy & Finn, two circus school graduates ready to shake up the performance world.
Soon after, the incredible Jared joined, becoming co-artistic director with Toffy and adding his unique vision to the mix.
Now, the company is run by the dynamic trio of Jared, Toffy, and Rika. Together, they steer the ship and dream up wild new ideas.
Behind them is the Brainfools team, a diverse and brilliant family of performers who train, create, and build outstanding shows together.
Hoxton Hall is a strong partner and supporter of Brainfools. We are proud to be Associate Artists at Hoxton Hall.
From Past to Present
From our early experiments in movement and narrative to the full-scale productions you see today, our journey has been about combining heart and spectacle. Below are the shows that continue that story — each one a new chapter inspired by our past and performed for now.

Balance
Balancing Secrets. Juggling Trust.
Set against the backdrop of a dusty pub cellar in the 1940s, Balance tells the story of two strangers thrown together by chaos. Using 'cellar inventory'—heavy beer kegs, wine bottles, and wooden planks—they transform a wary standoff into a high-energy acrobatic playground. It is a show about finding lightness in the dark, exploring reliance, identity, and the courage to lean on someone else.

"Utmost Joy for the Inner Child"
What if a sparkling snow globe held the secret to a whole new world?Stella's Imaginarium is a breathtaking new fantasy circus adventure. When Stella discovers a magical heirloom, a secret door opens into a world she builds herself—soaring with a wise bird, laughing with a playful satyr, and outsmarting a golden snake. A joyful celebration of imagination, friendship, and togetherness.
