Community Connection

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.
