KEEP OUT OF MY BOX and other useful advice

From performing in a hot water cupboard to top Edinburgh stage in just 1 year! This show is on the fast track for success, be a part of getting it there.

Herstory... From humble beginnings, KEEP OUT OF MY BOX (and other useful advice) debuted in the 2015 Auckland Fringe Festival as a free/koha perfomance in the Basement Theatre Box Office. Yep, it used to just be a hot water cupboard, and yes, it's lovely in winter. The show quickly became a festival favourite, winning BEST COMEDY, it was then invited to present a pop-up season in the 2015 NZ New Zealand Comedy Festival, then a fully ticketed season at Q Theatre for the 2016 NZ New Zealand Comedy Festival. 

And now, Torum has been invited to perform at the prestigious Gilded Balloon for a month long season at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August! That's 26 shows in 27 days!!! Gilded Balloon is the top comedy venue of the Festival and notably launched the careers of local heroes The Flight of The Conchords, The Wellington New Zealand Ukelele Orchestra and Rhys Darby, as well as New Zealand stars including Dylan Moran, Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican and Tim Minchin. So it's pretty overwhelmingly awesome that they have invited Torum to perform there, she is over the moon!

So what on earth is KEEP OUT OF MY BOX?

It's a comedy show. But not your typical comedy show.

This is a one woman, multi-character mini-musical that is all about female empowerment. Drawing on society's habits to "sl**-shame", the show is guised a s help-group for "promiscous" women. Through adorkable orginal songs and loveable characters this show promotes respect between women as well as pride in owning your sexuality.

This show has a big heart, an important message and is wildly silly and entertaining.
