Abroad, performing with a part that's quite daring (3,2,1,4)

I believe the answer is:

out on a limb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite daring' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'abroad performing with a part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'abroad' could be 'out' (abroad can mean away or out) and 'out' is present in the answer.
'performing' could be 'on' (as in being on stage) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'part' could be 'limb' (limb is a kind of part) and 'limb' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
